Mount Luboc, standing tall at an elevation of 1,000 meters above sea level (MASL), offers a magnificent panoramic view that leaves a lasting impression on those who venture to its summit. As the sun gracefully sets, hikers are rewarded with a breathtaking 360-degree spectacle of the majestic Igbaras mountain range. The summit of Mount Loboc provides an unobstructed view of other notable peaks, such as Mount Napulak (1,200 MASL) and Mount Taripis (1,300 MASL), both of which have been explored by adventurers seeking the allure of Igbaras’ mountains.
Mount Napulak, a renowned climbing destination located in Barangay Tigbanaba, is positioned south-southwest of Mount Loboc, while Mount Taripis lies to the west-northwest. The campsite on Mount Loboc, conveniently just a stone’s throw from the summit, offers an awe-inspiring view that stretches over the boundary of Igbaras and Tubungan. This campsite is adorned with several majestic mahogany trees, believed to have sprouted from seeds consumed by grazing cattle in these mountains. It’s a testament to nature’s resilience, as these cattle gracefully navigate steep slopes, leaving their mark with dung scattered across the campsite and summit. The landscape of Mount Loboc paints a picturesque tableau. From the peak, one can gaze upon the serene sea and the quaint towns of Iloilo, creating an image of natural beauty that captures the essence of Igbaras’ captivating mountains. The ascent to Mount Loboc is not just a hike; it’s a journey into the heart of this pristine wilderness, offering a profound connection with nature and an opportunity to savor the sheer magnificence of the Igbaras mountain range.
