The volcano erupted early May 2013, leaving some Euro adventurers dead! Even after that, a Siberian climber went up, breaking a leg in a fall, requiring rescue by helicopter. So, very scenic, perfect shape, still a whisp of activity from the top - take care! Rainy season started June - warning given of potential mud slides!

Years before this Volcano is considered to be the almost poerfect cone shaped active volcano in the philippines. But of course, due to nature, erosion do happens and some parts of the soil in the left side of the Volcano, do erodes which make it a bit "deformed" from afar. nevertheless, It is worth visiting. They say you are lucky... More

I was lucky - and had my first glimpse of the volcano while landing itself (sit on the left side). Later I spent five hours watching her across the fields from the Cagsawa ruins. The sights at the latter are as picturesque as the photos. The volcano tends to get covered with clouds from 11 am to 4 pm -... More

If your in a land trip you can say your in Albay if you can already view the Mayon Volacano. Its triangular shape is perfect and even it scares me seeing the smoke coming out from the volcano it adds beauty to the volcano.

When we visited Legaspi, there was some overcast and most parts of the trip, we couldn't see the entirety of the cone. on our last day, there was a moment there when it took a peak and it was magnificent! Had a few good shots of it. The best was when we were on the plane headed back to Manila.... More

I always thought that it was just an ordinary Volcano that has the "perfect cone". But it was only when I went to Albay when I found out that Mayon Volcano is not your ordinary Volcano.. It was a mesmerizing site to see.

Majestic and amazing.... It's a hit or miss depending on the day and how clear it is... Last couple days have been a flop! But that's nature. Going to stick around another day or two and see what we got!

That's what they call it and it looks great! You can see it from all over Legaspi, especially from the airport. I highly recommend going up the hill to the park where you enjoy a superb view. Sometimes there are no clouds, so take pictures at that time because it's relatively rare.

We passed on the trek to the summit in favor of an alternate trip to see whale sharks and other provinces, but glad we did. Mt. Mayon exploded the day we were supposed to be hiking up to the summit and it had killed 4 people. This is unfortunate, but don't let it discourage you from visiting. Remember, this is... More
