The original pictures were already "yellowish" galing pa sa ba-ul somekind of pandoras box? he he he....sobrang tagal na talaga...so we scanned and edited these pictures in Black & White and Sepia mode.

INFORMATION

Pico de Loro is located 85 kilometers southwest of Manila. It is bounded by the island of Corregidor and the Caraballo Mountains in the north, Nasugbu, Batangas in the south, Maragondon on the east and the South China Sea on the west. With the height of 664 meters above sea level, it is considered the highest mountain in the generally flat Cavite province. Pico de Loro is the highest point on a series of rolling hills and mountains within the boundary of Cavite and Batangas. Though not really that high, the view from the summit is awesome, facing the tranquil seas on the north-eastern side particularly the Manila Bay area giving you a good vantage point to watch the ships passing by while the entire Batangas and Cavite on the south-eastern side will give you a glimpse of the south-eastern mountains like Batulao and Talamitam. Pico de Loro has a majestic view when seen near the base camp wherein it resembles a mighty rock-face with exotic flora along the sides resembling the North American rocky mountains, though on a smaller scale.
