Mount Apo - The highest active volcano in the Philippines
Volcanoes fascinate people all over the world. Mount Apo is no exception. Admittedly, for many, it is not the first (or second :P) mountain that comes to mind when you hear the word volcano. But that makes Mount Apo all the more worth a trip! We’re playing our signature game again – feel free to write in the comments what country you think Mount Apo is in when you heard the name for the first time 🙂 Small hint – this time you might already notice it in the title 😀
Exactly, it is the highest active volcano in the Philippines!
1. Some interesting facts about Mount Apo
If you want to go to Mount Apo, there is a beautiful hike through Mount Apo National Park! The trail is about 15km long and leads you through forests and to breathtaking viewpoints. However, the trail is not for beginners and you should definitely have the right equipment with you. The reason for this is not only the distance but also the steep incline. But don’t worry, Mount Apo can still look forward to your visit because we have put together the perfect hiking packing list for you 🙂
Mount Apo has an altitude of 2938 meters ( 9,639 ft).As already mentioned, you will pass through forests on the way to Mount Apo – even the volcano itself is densely forested. Mount Apo has 3 peaks, the highest of which is also called Davao Volcano. In the National Park, established in 1936, you will also find numerous animals, waterfalls, and hot springs. We strongly recommend that you get a guide or hike with someone who knows the area.
Usually, you start your hike in Davao City early in the morning. Once you arrive in Sana Cruz, you can start the actual hike to Mount Apo 🙂
