Overview

Mt. Mayon is one of the most remarkable mountain in the Philippines due to its perfect conical shape. There is only two mountains in the world that is renowned for this, Mt. Fuji in Japan being the other one. It is the perfect backdrop in the Bicol Peninsula of the Cagsawa Ruins. In fact, it is the most active volcano in the Philippines with no less than 46 volcanic activity occurring after 1814 after the eruption that killed thousands and resulted to Cagsawa ruins. Mayon is the central story in Bicol mythology and is regarded as a result of the undying love of the princess named Magayon and a warrior named Handiong. Mayon, just like Makiling and Arayat are feminine in legends whereas, Kanlaon and Apo were attributed to male deities.

The trek up Mayon is a breathtaking experience filled with an exciting adventure and the thrill that it can erupt anytime. The trek starts at the PHIVOLCS office in Tabaco, Albay and from then trekkers will enter a grassland and a ravine formed by an ancient lava flow and at the end is the first campsite. A striking view at the summit crater awaits including the view of Mt. Isarog, M.t Bulusan, Catanduanes and the bodies of water that surrounds the archipelago. It is one of the most popular climbing and tourist destination in the country.
