Mount Banahaw, Sacred volcano in Luzon, Philippines
Mount Banahaw rises to 2,170 meters above sea level, featuring a deep crater measuring 1.5 by 3.5 kilometers within the Calabarzon region.
The volcano's significant eruption in 1730 created a flood that destroyed the town of Sariaya, marking a major geological event in the region's timeline.
The mountain contains numerous natural sites named after biblical references, including springs and caves that draw religious pilgrims throughout the year.
Visitors can access the summit through the Cristalino and Tatlong Tangke trails, with hiking times ranging from 5 to 9 hours depending on the chosen path.
The Makiling-Banahaw Watershed surrounding the volcano supplies water for domestic use and generates steam for power production in the neighboring communities.
