Lake Carolina

Alto Peak, also known as Mt. Aminduen, is the highest peak in Eastern Visayas, standing at 1,332 meters above sea level. Located in Ormoc, Leyte, this mountain is known for its steep trails, dense forests, and breathtaking summit views. Climbing it is a challenging yet rewarding experience, one that pushes hikers to their limits but rewards them with a sense of accomplishment and stunning scenery. The journey began at Lake Danao National Park, the usual jump-off point for Alto Peak. The serene lake, surrounded by lush greenery, was a calm contrast to the challenging trail ahead. The first section of the climb was relatively easy, passing through rolling terrain with thick vegetation. As we gained elevation, the trail gradually became steeper, and the forest grew denser. The real challenge began at the final stretch—an almost vertical ascent requiring ropes and careful footing. The muddy and slippery trail made every step a test of balance and endurance. Despite the difficulty, the cool mountain air and the sound of birds and rustling leaves provided moments of serenity amid the struggle. After hours of climbing, we finally reached the summit. The view was nothing short of spectacular—rolling mountains, deep valleys, and the distant coastline of Leyte and Samar. The wind was strong, and the temperature was noticeably cooler, a refreshing change after the grueling ascent. Standing on the peak, looking down at the vast landscape below, I felt a mix of exhaustion and exhilaration. Climbing Alto Peak was one of the most physically demanding hikes I’ve done, but it was also one of the most fulfilling. The challenge, the stunning scenery, and the sense of achievement made every difficult step worth it. It’s a mountain that demands respect but rewards those who take on the challenge with unforgettable memories.

#ChasingWaterfalls Waterfalls are nature's stunning displays of power and beauty, where water cascades over cliffs, creating dramatic sprays and mist. Their constant motion symbolizes life's flow, while their thunderous sound evokes awe. From towering falls to hidden gems, they inspire wonder, peace, and reverence. Each waterfall is unique, shaped by geography, climate, and time.
