Destination: Taal Volcano - 5

The main crater of Taal volcano was within sight. I got excited of the scenery that lies ahead. In order to reach the crater, an uphill climb requires some minutes. At first, the track was just an ordinary one.



But as we progress closer to the top, the terrain became rugged. Our journey was slowed down by the jagged landscape.



There was even a portion of the terrain that emits smoke. It shows that the volcano is active.



The terrain became more difficult as we moved closer to the top of the mountain. You can't afford to fall down from your horse because definitely the damage would be severe. So, you have to be extra careful of your ride.



And when you are riding a horse where the climb is steep, you have to lean forward, closer to the horse. This manner will maintain the balance and prevents you from falling backwards.



And finally, we reached the final stretch of the ride. We had to pass the narrow passage towards the resting ground of the horses. Yes,we were almost there!
