Philippines Travel Guide

On arrival in the Philippines, do not stop heading north from Legazpi City to observe the imposing Mount Mayon, a volcano about 2525 meters above sea level and a circumference of nearly 130 kilometers. If you are in Manila must travel 330 kilometers southeast of the capital to meet the country’s most active volcano. “50 eruptions in the last 400 years it enough? The first eruption on record occurred in 1616, but certainly the most destructive was in 1814, when lava buried the town of Cagsawa and unfortunately died 1200. In current times the volcano has erupted again as in 1993, where the vast cloud of ash that originated the Mayon poisoned 77 people.

This volcano is located in the Philippines Nayong National Park and dominates the landscape of the area, is known as “the perfect cone” for its conical shape and is considered the most symmetrical volcano in the world. This is the only mountain that is in miles and at night you can see a halo of glowing vapor constantly.

If there is a tour are encouraged to climb to the crater you ever imagine peering over the edge of a volcano to see lava? If you decide to undertake the adventure, look for a guide to Legaspi, which will offer an activity that will take two days trekking, and doing a camp at the foot of the volcano at night. How exciting! Of course, to see the volcano up close, it must be calm and without warning, otherwise at risk. It is good that we are adventurous, but it is a matter of risking our lives.

If you are not so bold not worry, you can see, as we said the volcano from anywhere on the site. A good time to take excellent photos is at dusk, where the angle of the volcano receives sunlight and the smoke makes red jock. Dare to enjoy a different experience, and discover the natural wonders of the little outdoor Philippines.
