Mount Pinatubo’s eruption on June 15, 1991, was considered as the second largest terrestrial eruption of the 20th century after the 1912 eruption of Novarupta in the Alaska Peninsula. The once site of destruction is now a venue of adventure and excitement. Here’s a Mount Pinatubo day tour itinerary and expenses to witness the majestic crater of the volcano.
