About 538 kilometers southeast of Manila, the lush province of Albay stands out as the most unique, fames byt the province's main attraction, the picture perfect Mayon Volcano, on of the world's magnificent mountains.
Her name was derived from the Bikol word "Magayon" which means beautiful. Erupting more than 40 times over the last two centuries, this active volcano toers as 2,462 meters above sea level. An American writer describes her as "an overly perfect backdrop painting of a Hollywood jungle movie."
Albay also takes pride in other diverse attractions such as clearwaterfalls, meadering rivers, spectacular ancient cave network, and lush underwater world.
