The Beauty Of Albay
|
Mayon Volcano |
Mayon Volcano, also known
as Mount Mayon, is an active stratovolcano in the province of Albay, in
the Bicol Region, on the island of Luzon, in the Philippines. Renowned
as the "perfect cone" because of its almost symmetrically conical shape,
Mayon forms the northern boundary of Legazpi City. Local folklore
refers to the volcano as Bulkang Magayon (Bikol: 'Beautiful Volcano'),
after the legendary heroine Daragang Magayon (Bikol: 'Beautiful Lady').
Mayon Volcano is the main landmark of Albay Province, Philippines. It is
10 kilometres (6 mi) from the Gulf of Albay in the cities and
municipalities of Legazpi City, Daraga, Camalig, Guinobatan, Ligao City,
Tabaco City, Malilipot, and Santo Domingo (clockwise from Legazpi). It
rises 2462 m (8,077 ft) above the gulf. Mayon Volcano is the
Philippines' most active volcano and is considered to be the world's
most perfectly formed volcano for its symmetrical cone.

Ligñon Hill |
T
he way to Ligñon Hill is very
steep, so if you are a newbie driver, you have to be extra careful. The
crew even told us that there was a van who fell while going down
because they change gear? eh, is it true? dunno lang or they are just
scaring us to walk our way up? :)
