El Saco Peak
In Mariveles
- Height
- 1,210 m
El Saco Peak rises on the eastern rim of the Mount Mariveles caldera in Mariveles, Bataan, just northeast of Tarak Peak. Most hikers reach it as a side trip from Tarak Ridge, 45 minutes to an hour each way; those on the Pantingan–Tarak traverse arrive by a steep climb out of the caldera floor at Bakwat River. Its trail was once badly overgrown and is clearer now, though thick in places.
