Aktualizace: Taal sopka byla pro veřejnost uzavřena.
Tam jsem chodil po aktivní sopce a také jsem se obával, že něco jiného vyhodí do vzduchu – můj močový měchýř. Musím čůrat. Opravdu špatné.
Byli jsme na svazích sopky Taal, jednoho z nejmenších aktivních sopek na světě, plácli uprostřed jezera Taal v Batangasu. Ano, je to malé, ale mějte na mysli, je to velmi, velmi aktivní. Ve skutečnosti je to jedna z mála „desetiletých sopek“ na světě. Podle Science Daily jsou desetiletí sopky 16 sopek určených celosvětovou asociací sopečné a chemie vnitra Země (IAVCEI), které si zaslouží konkrétní výzkumnou studii kvůli jejich anamnéze velkých, destruktivních erupcí a také pro osídlení oblasti.
Jeden z „jezdců“ (proč je to hluk tak apokalyptický?) Mi poradil, abych jen propustil kdekoli, ale nemohl jsem. Opravdu nebylo nic jiného než nasávání a také ji zvednout, dokud nedosáhneme vrcholu. V horní části může být toaleta v oblasti Recationer, pomyslel jsem si. Rozhodl jsem se jen potěšit z pohledu navzdory mému krvavému močovému měchýři.

Nalezení lodi na sopku
Převinout se o několik hodin dříve.
Peter byl úplně první, kdo nás pozdravil, když jsme naši metodu udělali strmý svah na areál Taal Lake Yacht Club. Vedl nás přes ohnivou červenou jezerovou banku pokrytou do chaty u pobřeží, kde nás pobavil člen personálu. Taal Lake Yacht Club (TLYC) je v Talisay, Batangas. I když je to „klub“, je k dispozici nečleny a také opravdu používá mnohem více než pronájem lodí na sopku. Zde můžete kajak, stejně jako plachta, stejně jako pokud nechápete jak, mohou vám dokonce ukázat. To je však pro další blogový příspěvek.

Sazba pronájmu lodí je 1 900 Php a je skvělá pro pět lidí. Byli jsme opravdu skupinou čtyř, takže jsme zaplatili P475. Personál TLYC byl vlastně velmi vstřícný a také nápomocný. Dokonce i sám Peter si vzal dlouhou dobu mimo svou hektickou rutinu, aby si s námi povídal a poskytl několik tipů. Nyní, teď chápu, že P1900 může být také pro loď. Opravdu můžete objevit dostupnější lodě pouze pro P1 500 nebo dokonce méně, ale cítili jsme se v bezpečí s TLYC z mnoha důvodů:
Mají vynikající reputaci internetu. Procházeli jsme některá hodnocení na mnoha fórech i blogy, stejně jako jsme byli spokojeni.
Když jste venku, mohou se postarat o váš majetek. Můžete si s nimi nechat své tašky.
Dodávají životní bundy a jejich lodě jsou dobře vybavené a spolehlivé.
Objevíte další lidi využívající dostupnější sazby v Talisay i v Tagaytay. Byli jsme jen pozitivní, že bychom měli fantastický zážitek s Taal Lake Yacht Club, stejně jako my.
Výlet na vrchol
“Ay Hindi Po,” uvedl můj kamarád Grace jednomu z dělníků, kteří se nás snažili přesvědčit, abychom zakopnuli koní pro P500. Věřili jsme, že to bylo také pro zážitek, abych byl upřímný, takže nikdo z nás se opravdu nezajímal vyzkoušet.
Jakmile jsme dorazili, mluvili nás, abychom si pronajali koně, aby nás ušetřili před vyčerpáním, ale mysleli jsme si, že to není tak těžké stoupání. Pokaždé jsme zdvořile odmítli. Bez ohledu na to nás ocpali, když jsme vyráběli naši metodu i dolů po svazích. Identifikovali všechny náznaky únavy a také ji vzali jako šanci na prodej. Nikdo z nich nefungoval. Byli jsme pevní, když jsme si pronajali koně.
To jsou moji kamarádi Dane i Grace. Pracovníci používající jízdy na koních s nimi splnili celou metodu.
Ale jejich vytrvalost byla nejméně z mých problémů.
Na vrcholu mého seznamu starostí byl můj močový měchýř. Opravdu jsem musel čůrat. Když jsem si však uvědomil, že opravdu není nic, co bych s tím mohl udělat, spustil jsem své myšlení o mysli a také předstíral, že můj močový měchýř mi tam dole neposkytuje zneužívání. Nebylo to těžké. Být obklopen přirozenou přitažlivostí to mnohem usnadnilo. Vítr byl silný a také udělal hučení pozadí k kolíkům černých vrán létajících nad hlavou.
Jen několik minut po treku byl velkolepý pohled odhalen, když náš průvodce sdílel informace o sopce. Nejvíce fotografovanou částí ostrova – ta, která se opravdu zdá jako sopka – zřejmě nebyla skutečná sopka, ale pouze jedna z řady kuželů i kráterů ostrova. Říká se tomu Binintiang Malaki. (Má protějšek s názvem binintiang munti, ale možná bych si neudělal obrázekture of it.) Our guide likewise verified what I discovered in my Geology class back in college: that Taal Lake itself was really the caldera of a gigantic ancient volcano as well as Tagaytay lies on the ridges of its rim. Fortunately, the only active part now is that island in the middle of the lake.

Another dominant function in the view of the landscape from where we were was Mt. Maculot in Cuenca, Batangas. The concrete buildings in Tagaytay City were likewise visible from there.
The trees got fewer as well as fewer as we went on with the trek, as well as the soil we trod on got redder, a indication that we were getting better to the crater. Smoke comes out of the vents on the edges of the cliff, as well as they reek of spoilt eggs, of sulfur. These vents are evidence that the volcano is active. Moreover, they influenced us to keep going as well as step quicker for we understood we were nearly there. It wasn’t long up until we might lastly see the huts at the ridges of the crater.
Stairway to a heavenly view
As we made our method along the troughs of the red rock formations that developed the higher, steeper path to the summit, we had already made buddies with the equine trip “agents.” My buddy Grace, especially, had already linked with a few of them on a personal level, speaking about their lives as well as what it was like to work here, their families, their dreams, their frustrations. While we still did not trip their horses up the volcano, we had forged a friendly, comfortable connection with them. It was great to understand them on a a lot more personal level as well as beyond their line of work. While we still did not requirement horses, we guaranteed to lease two from them on our method down. (It’s P250 per trip considering that it’s only one-way.)
Pohled shora
We still had to climb a tall flight of concrete stairs before reaching the summit. Although the view was absolutely breathtaking, the very first thing I did was ask the locals for the restroom. Unfortunately, there wasn’t any. Sakra. one of the vendors even tried persuade me to pee anywhere because that’s what locals do, she said. I was able to hold it for an hour, I can withstand another.
The vista from the perspective was unforgettable. The forested slopes of the surrounding ridges cause a bare reddish banks of the eco-friendly crater lake. Some parts of the naked slopes let out some heavy steam (or smoke) coming from its volcanic gut. The wind was as fierce as your routine video game however the water of the crater lake was still as well as gentle. The only thing that let us down was the sky, which stayed cloudy. The crater would have looked so much lighter had the sky been blue. But, of course, we can’t have everything.
Fenced view!
Venting!
A few vendors stationed at the ridge used refreshments as well as buko juice was the favorite. I would have liked it, however I was terrified my urinary system was reaching its maximum capability already. Benches supply a great location for tourists to rest as well as just appreciate the appeal that surrounded them.
After my buddies completed their buko juice, our guide directed us to a higher point where, he said, we might have a a lot more stunning panorama.

Confusing, right? Well, Taal Volcano has always been dubbed a “Volcano Island within a Lake within an Island.” Translation: Taal Volcano within Taal Lake within Luzon Island. however right here in front of us was the crater lake, a lake within the volcano. as well as assumption what, at the heart of the crater lake is one more absolutely attention-grabbing teensy bit islet called Vulcan Point. It is really a big rock on which vegetation has started to grow.
Vulcan Point. That quite bit rock islet.
The crater lake as well as the silhouette of Mt. Maculot (Cuenca, Batangas) in the background.
So, if you believe about it, Vulcan point is an “Island within a Lake within an Island within a Lake within an Island.” Translation: Vulcan point within the Crater Lake within Taal Volcano Island within Taal Lake within Luzon Island.
I just have one request to tourists who will grace this paradise with their existence as well as to the locals making a living out of it. keep the location clean. It’s just devastating to see empty water bottles around the site. Graffiti is likewise carved in the rocks. Such an awful sight in a charming place. Let’s behave appropriately as well as Leave nothing however Footprints, please.
Ugh. Opravdu? You’ll just leave it like this?
Některé prospěšné tipy
If you want to trip Taal Volcano, right here are some ideas that you may want to take into consideration so you might take pleasure in the experience better.
Wear light clothes. You will get sweaty as well as sticky. as well as oh, bring a pair of shades, a hat, as well as a little towel.
Put on sunblock. We did not since our silly group believed it was cloudy anyway so we ended up with an dreadful situation of sunburn.
Bring a tumbler of water. Each of us brought a bottle of water however then we realized that it was not that eco-friendly. We wanted we brought a tumbler, instead, as well as I hope that you will. This method you won’t contribute to the trash that may accumulate at the site. Take whatever you bring with you when you leave.
Come in your trekking shoes or sandals. It’s not truly a tough trip however you don’t want to hurt your ankles just since you didn’t utilize appropriate footwear.
Bring a camera! There’s so much to take pictures of!
That’s all I can believe of for now. I’ll add a lot more in the future.
Dane as well as Grace selected to go down riding a equine while we stayed with our guide, walking to the base of the volcano. On our method down, I had time to believe about exactly how wondrously challenging this world truly is as well as volcanoes, like Taal, epitomize it.
Volcanoes are a few of the most gorgeous features of the Earth, yet they are likewise a few of the most dangerous. They’re nurturing in lots of methods — producing great landscapes, supplying livelihood opportunities, fostering locations to develop as well as enhance connections — however their methods can be destructive, too. I might not assist however run a gazillion concerns in my head. What occurs when it erupts again? When will it erupt again? exactly how much damage will it cause? exactly how lots of lives will it claim? What will the location look like after that? As we neared the visitor center at the base of the volcano, I realized exactly how all these were just temporary. We have to treasure it while it’s right here since even something as gorgeous as this might be gone in a snap, in an explosion, just like that.
While I comprehend that it can remodel the landscape as well as produce something even a lot more gorgeous like Mt. Pinatubo, there was still a unhappiness to its impermanence. The unhappiness I felt that time, however, was only fleeting, for I had lastly identified a restroom. It seems like my bladder won’t blow up anytime soon after all.
