Mount Balut, Active volcano in Sarangani, Philippines
Mount Balut is an active volcano in Sarangani that rises in a conical shape to about 862 meters above sea level. Thermal springs and areas of volcanic gas activity dot its slopes, showing that the mountain remains geologically active.
The volcano formed through volcanic processes that created the Central Mindanao Arc and shaped the region's geology over time. These forces have been instrumental in forming the landscape that visitors see today in Sarangani.
Local communities around Mount Balut weave stories about the mountain into their spiritual beliefs and daily life. The summit and its surroundings hold meaning in how people understand their connection to the land they live on.
The mountain can be reached by established hiking trails, and local guides from nearby communities are available to lead visitors. Traveling with a guide helps you navigate safely and understand the active volcanic areas properly.
The mountain contains distinct thermal zones where hot springs emerge at varying temperatures. These features make it a living example of an active volcanic system still reshaping the Mindanao region.
