[2024 Albay Attraction] Travel Guide for Mayon Volcano (Updated Nov)

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. ❤️ #mtmayon #cahsawaalbay #travelgoal #couplestrip #memories #summervacation #awesomepic

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. #maydaytrip #urbanexplorer

Off the Beaten Path in the Philippines: Legazpi & Mayon Volcano

This was a spontaneous trip. I hadn't been to the Philippines for a long time, and this time I decided not to go diving in Bohol, but to take a different route. So I chose a less popular route: Puerto Galera - Legazpi - Mayon Volcano. I had planned to continue, but a typhoon 🌀 forced me to turn back... The weather wasn't great this time, so the photos aren't very clear, and the visibility underwater was also very low. Please bear with me, and I'll take better photos next time! 1. Public Transportation There are no direct flights from China to Legazpi, so you need to transfer in Manila or Cebu. I recommend Manila - Legazpi - Cebu, so you don't have to backtrack. The airport in Legazpi is called "Bicol International Airport," located in Daraga, right at the foot of the volcano. It takes about 30 minutes by taxi from the airport to downtown Legazpi. 2. City Transportation There are three main options: Taxi, Tricycle, and Jeepney. - Jeepney: No fixed stops, suitable for locals. Tourists are advised to choose the other two options. - Car: It's easy to call a car through Grab. Taxis are easy to find in the city, but not so much in the suburbs or scenic areas, where you'll need to take a Tricycle. - Tricycle: They can take you anywhere, and can fit 4 people if you squeeze in. 3. Accommodation The local brand hotels are a bit old and not very cost-effective. The locals are warm and simple, so homestays are also a good choice. I recommend staying in the city center, where there are more supermarkets and restaurants to choose from, and it's more convenient to get around.

So nice to travel in Albay using my online travel buddy #trip .com Smooth and fast and also trusted online booking interms of fligjht❤️

Going offroad on ATVs was amazing. Everyone should see Mt. Mayon Volcano once in their lives. Just make sure to wear protective gear and take advantage of trip insurance. Trust me, it's worth it.

The World's Most Perfect Volcanic Cone 🗻😊

The Shy and Elusive Mayon Volcano

Mayon Volcano may be known for its majestic beauty, but it's also known for being shy and elusive at times. Well, not today. According to the locals, the Mayon Volcano only shows its peak to those with pure hearts and good intentions. For almost a week before our visit, the peak of Mayon Volcano remained hidden behind the clouds. The locals also advised us to say our wishes. 😊 #beachlife #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #passionpassport #mytripvlog #philippines

Dine with the gods at Mt. Mayon

The almost perfect cone shape of Mt. Mayon of Lrgazpi, Albay, Philippines is most comparable to Mt. Fuji of Japan on its perfect cone and grandeur. One of the most active volcanoes in the Philippines being on the edge of the Pacific Ring of Fire. Its majestic beauty draws visitors not only over the country but to foreign people as well. Going there from Manila by Air: There is a daily trip of airflight from Manila to Legazpi City though in bad weather conditions some flights are cancellee due to zero visibility near the foot of Mt. Mayon. Going there from Manila by Land: Everyday there are more than 30 trips of buses from Non-aircon, Aircon, Premiere, Deluxe, and First Class buses from Manila to the Visayas and Mindanao. Since all these buses would really pass by Albay going to Matnog Port in Sorsogon City and travel via 'Ro-Ro' by sea to Allen Port in Northern Samar; you can ride on of these buses and just drop off at Legazpi City. There are an overwhelming number of inns, hotels, and spaces for rent around Mt. Mayon. Try to travel around Mt. Mayon if you are a backpackers and enjoy the variety of food, drinks, bars, rides, and 'entertainment' around Mt. Mayon. Note: People around Mayon are members of the so-called 'Bicolanos' a major people group in the Philippines that is very fond of 'sili' - 'chilli' on their food. They even have 'chilli ice cream' with levels of chilliness that your body is willing to take. #staycation #mountains #volcanoes #albay #philippines #sirroneltravels

Mayon Volcano Philippines

Albay is the home of the WORLD’s most perfect cone-shaped volcano—Mt. Mayon. I know it sounds cliche, but I felt the need to state it as this is one of the reasons why there’s a public perception that staying even a single night here costs an arm and a leg (with Mayon as the only attraction). And as a budget traveler who already experienced Albay, I want to alter that thinking. Albay taught me that “world class” doesn’t always mean “expensive”. If you opt to reach Albay by bus, it is advisable to depart from Manila the night before. Only if you don’t mind sleeping on a bus the entire night. It will save you time significantly. If not, you can fly to Legazpi Airport via Cebu Pacific or Philippine Airlines. We took a Legazpi-bound bus from DLTB Cubao (near Shopwise). We reserved our bus tickets ahead of time since it was peak season. Fare is ₱800 one way. We left Cubao at around 8PM and reached Albay around 7:30AM the next day. It was almost 12 hours travel time. We told the bus attendant to drop us off at Avia Inn at Daraga, but he seemed unfamiliar, so he suggested he will just drop us off at the unloading zone in Daraga. Upon getting off the bus, we learned that Avia inn is just a short walk away from the drop off point. Talk about convenience. #maydaytrip #urbanexplorer
