Pamulaklakin Forest Trail
A rainforest trail managed by the Aeta indigenous people, where community guides demonstrate jungle survival skills such as cooking rice in bamboo, making fire and finding water.
Pamulaklakin is located on the Aeta reservation in the eastern part of the Subic Bay Freeport. The Aeta are among the earliest indigenous peoples of the Philippines, and during the Vietnam War they trained U.S. forces in jungle survival skills. Here you can follow Aeta guides into the rainforest to learn how to make fire from bamboo, cook rice in bamboo tubes, collect drinking water from vines, identify medicinal plants and set traps. You can also wade in the streams. The experience takes about one to three hours and is suitable for families. Entry and guiding fees are fairly low, around a few hundred pesos, and overnight camping can be booked. Reaching the site requires a private car or a hired vehicle. Wear non-slip shoes and bring insect repellent.
