Mount Apo (2954m) meaning ‘grandfather’ or ‘master’ in local dialect is the highest mountain and volcano in the Philippines. Although Mount Apo has had no recorded eruptions in its history, it is still considered to be an active volcano. There are 4 known trails to pick from, all of which are steep climbs. The fit should be able to summit it in 5 or 6 hours. So far we only have the route from Colan Campsite to the southeast of the mountain. The route reaches the true summit in about 7.5km, with about 1675m of elevation gain.

Submitted by Ramon Krebs, with the specific intent that this route can be linked by public transport (start & end at train stations):

A ridge, very technical and with a breathtaking view. The path is only partially marked, but is easy, always along the ridge... However, it is important to be able to move safely in technical terrain. In addition, easy climbing passages should not be an obstacle.

Always running along the coastline, it follows the trails used by locals to get to the beaches and hot fishing spots.
It is a single track along the cliffs,with plenty of sand, which can only be travelled by foot, and more demanding from a physical point of view.

It started in Odeceixe and ended in Porto Covo. Approx. 75 km.
