Hiking at the Crater
M T. C A G U A
Gonzaga, Cagayan
🌾 Mt. Cagua(ka-wa) is an active volcano recently opened for locals and tourists. The volcano is located at Brgy. Magrafil, Gonzaga, Cagayan. If you haven’t experience hiking an active volcano, this is the time for you to try something new!🌋
Imagine, you walk at the crater of a active volcano. Magma rocks are great for body scrubbing. You can pick a lot of rocks here. You can also cook eggs through the hot springs scattered around. This is the best yet tiring hike of my life. But the view is so beautiful that you can forget the the long and tiring moment you hike.
