Trip to the Perfect Cone: Bulkan Mayon - Legazpi City, Albay - Feb 2013

City of Legazpi is the largest city of the Bicol Region.
Mayon Volcano is one of the Philippine's most popular icons and tourist destinations. It is the main landmark and highest point of Albay.
*Local folklore refer to the volcano being named after the legendary heroine Daragang Magayon. A Bicolano myth of the lovers Daragang Mayon and Ulap, whose deaths gave life to a mound of earth that grew to become Mayon Volcano.

(DIY town's tour and accommodation c/o our friend and his family)

How we get there:
1. Book a flight from Manila to Legazpi City, Albay via Cebu Pacific.

What's there to look forward to? 
1. The probinsya feels! You can tag it as your one memorable summer vacation.
2. Delicious food! Bicolanos are the best chef! What more can I ask for?
3. Breathtaking scenery! I luv you Mayon!

my travel experience: 10/10

Enjoy your stay! :)


Mayon Volcano is renowned as the 'perfect cone' due to its almost symmetric conical shape.
