Things To Do: Majestic Mayon
  • Tip Rating:
  • Almost all the towns of Albay are within the foot of Mayon Volcano. It is possible then to go around Mayon travelling the road-loop connecting the towns and choose the best view of this majestic volcano that awes you. But no matter where you view it, the profile looks the same - owning to the title of "Perfect Cone".

    Things To Do: Cagsawa Ruins Park
  • Tip Rating:
  • A witness to the occasional rumblings of Mt. Mayon as it unleash its fury every now and then, the Cagsawa Ruins is what remained of a once lively town after a great eruption of which lava swept the whole town >> left standing alone was the church's Bell Tower plus some remaining walls of the old church. Looking around the place would give anyone the chilling feel of what could have happened on that dreadful eruption a century ago.

    Souvenir shops at the park's periphery.

  • A mountain spring resort in between the foot of Mt Malinao and Mayon Volcano. The swimming pools (5 pools) are free-flowing and are filled with water coming from mountain springs. What is ironic is that the place is in between a volcano and a mountain that hosts a power geothermal plant, yet the water from the spring is super cold. The water is colder than you expect. A favorite day-tour destination of Albayenos during summer - a great relief from the summer heat.

    The resort has rooms for overnight stays.

  • Tiwi is not only famous as the host of one of the biggest geothermal plants in the country but also of its Halo-Halo. There are 2 halo-halo parlors in town located side-by-side. The one that draws a bigger number of customers is definitely the original and the "gaya-gaya" just take the spillover when demand is great.

    Our host from Tiwi told us that there's a secret recipe on the ice used. We agree that this is the best halo-halo we ever tasted around the country.
