Please see description for itinerary:
This is the second time we were able to hike the Parrot's Beak (Pico de Loro). The first hike, we were not able to go to the summit and the monolith. This time, we made sure we would make it to the top! It was raining the previous days so the stream was alive, but it also made for a muddy and slippery trail. Even though the summit is only 664 MASL, the view at the top is very rewarding. Going to the top of the monolith is a "monumental" achievement (well, at least for us)! The hike itself is very scenic, and there is plenty of tree cover so the sun won't burn you as much compared to other hikes.
Video was taken using a GoPro Hero 4 Silver.

NOTES:
- A guide is NOT required to hike Mt. Pico de Loro, but when you get to the base camp, there are guides there that will help you get to the summit and the monolith. For first timers, we recommend getting a guide there as the monolith climb requires some "technical" climbing skills. We paid around Php200 for 4 persons.
- Registration fee is Php25 per guide.
- Parking fee is Php50.
- There is also a waterfall beyond the summit that we didn't get to visit. Our guide recommended going there during the rainy season.
- You can also do a traverse from DENR Maragondon to Nasugbu, Batangas and vice versa.
