The picturesque view of Mt. Mayon Volcano
Mayon, also known as Mount Mayon and Mayon Volcano, is an active stratovolcano in the province of Albay in Bicol Region, on the island of Luzon in the Philippines.
Called the world's most perfect volcanic cone because of the symmetry of its shape, it has a base 80 miles (130 km) in circumference and rises to 8,077 feet (2,462 metres) from the shores of Albay Gulf.
Cagsawa Ruins is one of the most iconic tourist spots in Albay. The church was built in 1587 then destroyed by Dutch pirates in 1636. A priest had it rebuilt in 1587 but in 1814, the historic eruption of Mayon
Volcano once again destroyed the church and the town of Cagsawa. ❤️

St. Ellis Hotel - Legaspi
If you happen to travel to Legaspi city and want to stay in a hotel which is at the very heart of the city, Hotel St Ellis is the place to be.
The hotel is a few blocks away from Ayala mall, and kne jeepney/tricycle ride away from SM mall. It is also newr the local malls in Legaspi. It is also newr the seaside so you can have a morning and night stroll there.
The hotel facilities and furnitures are quite up to date. the hotel lobby is amazing and the staff are friendly. it is 20-30 mins away from the airport though but transfer service is free.
Breakfast buffet is available and you can try a good range of Filipino breakfast. Other dishes are available as well in the hotel restaurant.
The experience is quite good and the price is very reasonable so I will surely come back to this hotel once I visited Legaspi.

A Stroll at Legaspi City’s Seaside
It was a revelation to me! I did not expect to be amazed by the city shore. If you happen to go to Legaspi City, taking a walk by the seaside is a must.
Getting there is easy since it is just near the Ayala and SM malls and other local malls - one tricycle or jeepnep ride away. You will be greeted by the Seawall Park leading to Embarcadecero mall where you can dine. A wide range of restaurants, cafes and bars can also be found near the seaside.
You can take morning walks or jog at Sawangan Park. The majestic Mayon volcano usually shows at sunrise where there is not much clouds yet blocking its perfect cone-shaped. Locals say you must go there around 5am or 6am. Another park is currently under development which is the People’s Park of Legaspi.
Other attractions within the seaside includes the Puro beach, the sleeping tiger, local foodparks etc.
I would love to come back or even live here - a city with a seaside.#

Had a blast during these side trip to Cagsawa Ruins in Albay, Bicol Region. The view of the majestic Mayon Volcano is To-Die-For! If you happens to be traveling down south, don't ever dare to skip this beaut! #albay #sidetrip #travel #mayonvolcano #perfectcone
The only volcano in the world with a perfect cone. It is located in Legazpi, Albay. That is 1 hour by plane from Manila. 10hrs by bus.
The majestic beauty of this volcano makes the province of Bicol popular. The church on the side of the volcano is called Cagsawa Church that is located in
Daraga, Albay. You can only see the top part of the church because the whole church building was covered by the volcanic lava in one of the eruptions.

DARAGANG MAGAYON
Mayon Volcano is an active volcano in southern Luzon, Philippines, that dominates Legaspi City. It has a base 80 miles (130 kilometers) in circumference and rises to 8,077 feet (2,462 meters) from the coasts of Albay Gulf, earning it the title of the world's most perfect volcanic cone. Bikolanos also referred it as DARAGANG MAGAYON because it is a beautiful and a perfect cone shaped volcano!
Mayon Volcano National Park is home to the volcano, which is popular with climbers and campers (21 square miles [55 square km]). On the lower slopes, there are vast abaca plantations. Since 1616, there have been more than 30 eruptions.

Perfect cone-shaped volcano - Mayon
It was my childhood dream to witness Mayon’s glory in flesh and not in postcards and history books anymore. Though it wasn’t my first time to see Mayon as I’ve already seen her before when we passed by Tabaco while we were on our way to visit our relatives in Catanduanes way back 2007, but it was my first time to see her from Cagsawa Ruins Park.
Entrance fee: ₱10
Viewing Mt. Mayon from Cagsawa Ruins Park creates a different atmosphere compared to other spots. Once you see the Cagsawa Church’s bell tower, you will automatically imagine how disastrous it became when it erupted more than 200 years ago. The eruption buried the church by rocks and lava, leaving only a potion of the bell tower.

It’s Perfect!
One of the most famous volcanoes in the Philippines is Mayon Volcano. It’s located in the province of Albay. A very popular destinations for tourists and its renowned as the perfect cone.
Travel to Legaspi City from Cubao, Quezon City is about 10 hours by bus or you can choose by air travel which is faster but more expensive than taking a bus.
To travel around, best is to rent a motorcycle for every destinations you want to go and you can stop anytime to take a photo not a hassle.
Also don’t forget to taste and eat Bicol’s best “Bicol Express”

Mayon, the most famous of the active volcanoes of the Philippines, is a archetype of a symmetrical stratovolcano and one of the world most active ones. It has frequent eruptions producing pyroclastic flows, mud flows and ash falls that repeatedly triggered large-scale evacuations. Mayon's most violent eruption, in 1814, killed more than 1200 people and devastated several towns. #givethanks

Going to the Philippines to see the volcano, the ruins and the volcano that smokes are more suitable!
Fortunately, on the first day we saw the complete Mayon volcano at Cagsawa Ruins. It was originally a bustling town, which was later destroyed when the Mayon volcano erupted. In addition to the remaining stone walls, this ruin remains the remains of a church, giving people a sense of nature. The original magic.
Cagsawa Ruins is definitely a landmark of legazpi. After all, you can see the whole volcano and the view is very good.
It really is a small tourist city. We have been patted here for a long time, and we only saw two or three groups of tourists, and they all looked like Filipinos. When I first came, the top part of the volcano was not completely exposed. When we watched the wind waiting for the little one to show the sharp point, we could still see that the crater was smoking white smoke. It was really shocking. I saw the active volcano once, although it was a long distance but really like it!
To enter the park, you need to buy tickets and parking fees. We paid a total of 70 pesos, and the attraction is not enough for half an hour. There will also be a lot of ATV ads here, which will encourage you to play the volcano in another way.

Mayon Volcano is an active volcano in the southeast of Luzon, Philippines. Its nearly perfect conical mountain, known as the "perfect cone", is the most complete volcano in the world. Japan's Mount Fuji is second only to it. It is often compared with Mount Fuji in Japan. It is a famous tourist attraction in the Philippines. It has been on the verge of many recent eruptions. Although the Philippine government has evacuated nearby residents, it has attracted many desires. Volcano lovers and photographers of the volcanic eruption scene.
The mountain is very beautiful, known as the world's most symmetrical cone, with a hazy cloud. I am lost here, living in Legazpi, and waking up to look at the beautiful volcano, it also has a flavor.

✈️Transportation
Domestic flights to Manila, transfer to Legazpi, the names of airports in the Philippines are different on domestic OTA platforms, search directly for the three-letter code DRP
The punctuality rate of Philippine airlines is extremely extremely extremely extremely extremely low, make sure to allow at least 3 hours for connecting flights. If you are in a hurry, speak to the flight attendants before boarding about the tight schedule of your subsequent flight, usually, there are seats near the cabin door reserved for such changes, and the moment you step out of the plane, don't hesitate, rush in the right direction, you need to be faster than the others on the same flight to get to customs, as the clearance speed here is also very slow.
It is recommended for those who are transferring to choose the same airline for both flights, it's more convenient for rebooking in case you miss the connection. Cebu Pacific is convenient for transfers, all within T3, while Philippine Airlines and AirAsia's domestic segments in the Philippines require going to T2, which is about a 15-minute taxi ride away, assuming no traffic. The airport shuttle bus intervals are long, so it's better to take a direct Grab taxi, the cost should not exceed 270 pesos, and you can pay with Alipay or cash.
🏨Hotels
There are not many good hotels in Legazpi, just choose a cleaner one. This time I stayed at Hotel Sentro Legazpi. The location of this hotel is good, there are many places to eat around, there is a night market, supermarket, fruit market, fried chicken shop... The hotel's breakfast is also rich, there is no air conditioning, but a cooling one, the noise is a bit loud. About three hundred per night.
🌋The most perfect conical volcano in the world
We chose to rent a car to the volcano, a half-day trip, the price was negotiated from 3500 down to 2500. Initially contacted a taxi driver, who said the price was set by the company, he couldn't reduce it, later found a private car. Didn't book ATV with the driver, if you want ATV, understand the prices well before booking.

Lutong Lokal :-) Authentic Island Food
In a recent goodwill trip to a place called Mapulang Daga (Red Rat in Tagalog... go figure) in Bacacay, Albay - the local served us their bestvtake on their everyday good.
This everyday dish was so special to us. That's deep fried Tamban fish (like sardines), then Ginataang Ubod (so tastful) and Ginataang Lubi-Lubi (a local vegetable)
