Bicol Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

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

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

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

Mt. Mayon is a famous because of it's perfect cone shape. But not all travelers are lucky to see this majestic view, also they called it a shy type mountain, usually it's hiding from clouds. Lucky us, we saw this Mayon from FarmPlate and not just that perfect cone shape alone, because the together with different attractions in this area it added to have a beautiful perfect picture.

Bicol Views 💕

I’ve missed this. It’s been three months since the last time I’ve been here. Missin’ the mayon view, missin’ the weather, missin’ the province life and everything. Hoping for a better and long stay here. #awesomepic

Cagsawa Ruins

Started from grade school textbook to reality. ✔️The remains of the Cagsawa Church ✔️Lucky to see Mt. Mayon completely, One of the best world's volcanic cone

#MayonVolcano

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

#Mayon Volcano & Cagsawa Ruins Park

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.

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.

Bicol International Airport

Getting There - from Naga, you need to take a local bus for 2 hours to reach Legazpi Attractions - You get to see the Mayon volcano from inside the airport. To get to your boarding gate, it would take roughly 30 minutes only. The staff are nice and courteous Food & Restaurants - There are numerous restaurants inside the airports. You get to try Bigg’s diner and Bo’s Coffee Shopping - there are local rattan bags and pine tarts delicacies available inside the airport #mytripvlog

Price per Person - Php 5,400 per night for 2 persons Rating - 9.5/10 #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer

Samgyupsal in Magsaysay Avenue Naga City

Korean food are now on the street in our City. This is just only one of the restaurants in this street . But there's only one who will stand out. That is 📍CJZAVE BBQ and Grill Korean style. Magsaysay Ave. Naga City. Cross the road from Villa Caceres hotel and just walk for few meters. The place itself is small area compared to the others its because it has aircondition and exhaust fan when grilling. I find very comfortable staying inside which is kinda cool. This is very ideal only for 2-5 person per table. They offer unlimited meat including Beef, Pork, chicken, Seafood like shrimp and squids. Fruits like water melon, banana, they also have different side dishes like pickled carrots, cucumbers ,kimchi and the sweet potatoes with sesame seeds is very yummy. For only 349 pesos per head. I highly recommend this place , they have good marination and different sauces like creamy cheesy ,oyster and etc. The price is unlimited but they have rules NO LEFTOVER. Get only what you can eat. 100g is 100 pesos when there's so much left over food. Let's not waste food. Enjoy and eat well! #food #foodie #koreanstyle #samgyupsal #filipinokorean #bbq

Children's Pool in NAGA CITY!

Address -Villw Caceres Hotel, Magsaysay Ave. Naga City They have Children's pool, main pool, Jacuzzi, Gym. I find it safe for the children compared to other pools that we went before. Because you can keep your eyes on the children easily and it was not too deep just incase they accidentally jump.They also have a buffett in the restuarant that serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Or you can simply order on their menu and serve on the pool area they have affordable food that's good for sharing . Adult day rate for using the pool is Php.400 and Php. 500 for the night swimming. Children's rate are half price of the adult rate. But if you check in the hotel you can avail free using the pool. Just ask the front desk . ❤#staycation #summer
