Mt. Purgatory
Book Now!Overview
Despite its ominous name, Mt. Purgatory and its accompanying peaks make for a wonderful trekking experience across the Cordilleras. Spanning 25 kilometers and a total of four peaks, the trail is sure to satisfy those who can’t get enough of that amazing mountain atmosphere.The trail follows old rough roads and well-established footpaths running up and down the mountains, and takes hikers across seemingly endless swathes of mesmerizing pine and mossy forests. Each of the different peaks – with the highest being Mt. Kokompol at 2,290 meters above sea level – opens up to tantalizing vistas of the surrounding Cordillera Mountains. Along the way, you can easily spot notable landmarks such as Mt. Pulag (you can even spot some of the hikers there on a clear day) and Mt. Sto. Tomas, with some parts of Baguio City visible.
All in all, the trail takes two to three days to finish. At the end of the long journey, hikers will feel not as if they were in purgatory, but like they had just been on cloud 9.
Did you know?
The mountain was christened by an American logging supervisor who had described the difficult working conditions in the area as akin to “being in purgatory.”
