<p>The world of show business can be toxic, exhausting, and depressing sometimes. Thus, celebrities find ways to escape from it by doing things that they enjoy whenever they’re not in front of the camera nor under the glaring spotlight. Some have developed various hobbies or have focused on working out, while there are others who opt to go on adventures not just to unwind, but to explore new places and try out new experiences, too.</p><p>One of these activities is hiking, which allows people to literally reach new heights, commune with Mother Nature, and have some sort of breather. And among those who enjoy it are the female celebrities that we listed in this Kapamilya Snaps feature.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Bela Padilla</strong></div><p>During her vacation here in the Philippines last July, Bela didn’t just attend a few events or appear on <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/itsshowtime" target="_blank"><em><u><strong>It’s Showtime</strong></u></em></a>, but was also able to squeeze in a hiking trip with a bunch of friends one weekend. And her followers couldn’t help but notice how glowing and fresh she was in the photos she posted.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Andrea Brillantes</strong></div><p>It seemed that Andrea chose to celebrate her 20<sup>th</sup> birthday last March by crossing an item off her bucket list after she reached the peak of Mount Batur in Bali, Indonesia. And just recently, she and her best friend Kyle Echarri also trudged on Mount Kulis in Antipolo City, Rizal, wherein they also filmed one vlog each for their respective YouTube channels.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Jane Oineza</strong></div><p>The <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/nagaapoynadamdamin" target="_blank"><em><strong><u>Nag-aapoy na Damdamin</u></strong></em></a> lead actress had one “Super Sunday” last May when she went on a hiking trip to Mt. Batolusong in Tanay, Rizal with her boyfriend RK Bagatsing, his sister Monina, and their other friends. And fans couldn’t help but gush over how <em>kilig</em> they are of Jane’s snaps with RK.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Anne Curtis</strong></div><p>Aside from her beauty and talents, another thing that we admire about the <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/itsshowtime" target="_blank"><em><u><strong>It’s Showtime</strong></u></em></a> host is how she serves as a fitspiration to women out there, especially to moms like her. And one of the ways she does it is by going on hikes, which does not only serve as an effective exercise for her, but also as a fun bonding activity for her family.</p><p>Being true adventurers that they are, Anne and her husband Erwan Heussaff have conquered several mountains already before they got married. Now that they have Dahlia, it didn’t stop them from exploring different places as they tag her along with them. Last January, they opened the year by climbing up Cradle Mountain during their sojourn in Australia over the holidays.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Dimples Romana</strong></div><p>Last April, Dimples was in Peru, where she got to climb the scenic Rainbow Mountain with her son Alonzo.</p><p>The <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/theironheart" target="_blank"><em><strong><u>The Iron Heart</u></strong></em></a> actress shared the experience in an Instagram post, writing, ““The climb up the Rainbow Mountain in the Andes was not entirely about the destination and the peak. It was the journey, every step of the way up, the pauses, the stops, the roadblocks, and humps.”</p><div> </div><div><strong>Barbie Imperial</strong></div><p>Barbie also enjoyed her escapade in Mt. Batolusong in 2019, as seen in the two gorgeous selfies she posted on IG. In another photo, she was seen on the rocky peak of the said mountain and captioned it, “I love places that make me realise how tiny you and your problems are.”</p><div> </div><div><strong>Nadine Lustre</strong></div><p>Apart from being an award-winning actress and an impressive songstress, another facet of her that we love is her being a certified nature lover. And one of the ways that she gets to show it is through going on hikes with her friends.</p><p>Nadine’s first ever climb was up Mount Ulap in Itogon, Benguet in 2017. One of her snaps featured a dog known as the “guardian of the summit.”</p><div> </div><div><strong>Aya Fernandez</strong></div><p>The <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/nagaapoynadamdamin" target="_blank"><em><strong><u>Nag-aapoy na Damdamin</u></strong></em></a> actress also had the chance to visit Itogon, Benguet in September 2022 to ascend to the peak of Mount Ulap. In her IG post, Aya encouraged others to get to explore the beauty of the Philippines, by writing in the caption, “<em>Napakaganda ng Pilipinas</em>, deserve <em>niyang makilala mo pa siya</em>.”</p><div> </div><div><strong>Ara Mina</strong></div><p>She may be already a mom, but that doesn’t stop Ara from literally bringing herself to greater heights. It was in 2016 when she started climbing mountains, with Mount Lubog, Mount Pulag, and Mount Maculot as some of the peaks that she has already reached.</p><p>“For hiking is one of those things that you can only do when you have the determination in you,” she wrote in one of her social media posts.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Angel Locsin</strong></div><p>Angel is definitely not only tough when it comes to facing life’s challenges, but in conquering mountains, too.</p><p>She ended 2016 by trudging the adjacent mountains of Mt. Cayabu and Mt. Maynoba both in Tanay, Rizal – which are known for being beginner-friendly, as well as the staggering eight waterfalls that Mt. Maynoba showcases – along with her friends.</p><p>Just on the second day of 2017, she posted a photo of her atop Mt. Maculot-Rockies in Cuenca, Batangas, and the following day, she was seen at one of the summits of Mt. Pamitinan in Rodriguez, Rizal, which – according to her – was already her “4th mountain in 3 weeks”.</p><p>In 2018, she reminded her followers to “Wander often. Wonder always” as she posed for a snap at the Marlboro Country in Sagada, Mountain Province.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Angelica Panganiban</strong></div><p>We may perceive her as outgoing and a go-getter, but Angelica revealed that her first hiking experience was when she set her foot at the Tiger’s Nest in Bhutan with her bestie Glaiza de Castro in 2017.</p><p>The proud first-timer shared their exhausting yet fulfilling journey on IG by posting photos and chronicling in the caption how she made it despite only having one foot that was “willing and able”.</p><p>“…<em>Habang umaakyat ako, naiiyak na ko. Iniisip ko, bakit ko ba ‘to ginagawa? Nanginginig na ‘yong isa kong binti dahil pilay ‘yong kanan kong paa. Umulan pa ng paulit-ulit. Pero wala e, napasubo na ko e. Nandyan na ‘yan. At ang pinaka-malupit, naunahan ko pa ang mga guide at ‘yong kaibigan kong wala naman pilay. Puro harot kasi. Malupit! Malupit ka</em>, Bhutan!” she wrote.</p><p>Nevertheless, Angelica looks forward to “more mountains, adventures and sunrises”.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Kim Chiu</strong></div><p>Being a certified go-getter and adven-CHIU-rista that she is, Kim is always willing to try out different activities, from running marathons to climbing up mountains.</p><p>While others opt to hit the beach or stay at home during Holy Week, the <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/itsshowtime" target="_blank"><em><u><strong>It’s Showtime</strong></u></em></a> host and her beloved boyfriend Xian went on a hiking trip in Bukhansan Mountain during their vacation in South Korea in 2018.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Erich Gonzales</strong></div><p>It can be recalled that in September 2017, photos of Erich during a hiking trip in Mt. Batolusong in Tanay, Rizal went viral online as she astonishingly remained glowing despite being sweaty and exhausted after the climb.</p><p>The Kapamilya actress seemingly enjoyed it and even invited her celebrity friend Janella Salvador and their other pals to go up Mt. Balagbag in Rodriguez, Rizal the following year. Her exhilaration was evident in the two photos of her that she posted on Instagram and captioned one, “in my happy place, reminding me of what&#x27;s important”.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Kristine Hermosa</strong></div><p>Another unstoppable celebrity mom in this list is Kristine, who still manages to unleash the adventure-junkie in her despite being a hands-on homemaker. In March 2022, she had her “comeback climb” in Nagpatong Rock Formation in Rizal.</p><p>Kristine shared her experience on social media, writing, “napasabak agad – ‘yung parang huling araw ko na sa mundo ang pakiramdam – namiss ko ang pamilya ko.”</p><p>Which of these courageous female celebrities would you wish to go on a hike with, Kapamilya?</p>
