Mt. Butalao Dayhike Plus an Overnight Camping at Burot Beach
I’ve always preferred to climb Batulao
early morning especially for dayhikes but as always, I constantly end up savoring
the heat of Batulao… I don’t know what’s with me coz no matter how I’ve known
how fiery it could be, my shield frequently comes shorthanded.
Anyways, for this dayhike, the thought
of a rewarding beach after this blistering trek kept me going… Beach, beach, beach….
Actual itinerary as follows:
7am to 9am – travelled from Manila to
Evercrest
930am – start of trek via the new
trail
11am – finally reached the registration
area after countless stops to take cover
1130am – resumed trek to summit
1215pm – reached the summit with trail
bottles drained
1220pm – started descent via the old
trail
115pm – reached the old trail
registration area
3pm – back at jump-off, regrouped with
the team and prepared for Burot Beach

It was already 4pm when we left for
Calatagan and an hour thereafter, the welcome marker greeted us. We stopped at Calatagan proper for our
supplies provision then after a literally “rocky” ride and a shade
before 6pm, the beautiful Burot Beach hailed before us.
I thought at first that being
undeveloped, road unpaved, unadvertised – we will be alone in the beach… but as
soon we entered the area, all tables were taken, several tents were up, parking
occupied, laughter all over… wow… it resembled Anawangin. I can’t help imagine how it looked at summer.
