                 Mt. Arayat is an inactive volcano in Pampanga, Philippines rising to a height of 1026 m above sea level. The volcano is located in a flat agricultural region within the municipality of Arayat, Pampanga. Mt. Pinatubo is located a further ten miles west. It is considered a mystical mountain, and people are against a proposal to place radio antennas atop the peak. Two trails lead to the two peaks of Mt. Arayat. Mt. Arayat National Park has a trail to Peak 1. This is the more popular trail, taking around 3-4 hours to reach the peak. Peak 1 offers views of Central Luzon, including Pampanga River, the mountains of Zambales and Bataan, and the mountains of the Sierra Madre Range. On the other hand, Peak 2 can be accessed from Magalang, Pampanga.
