About Mayon Volcano, Philippines

One¡¯s visit to the Bicolandia is not complete without catching a captivating view of Mayon Volcano, the world¡¯s most perfect cone and Bicol¡¯s fiery maiden. Her name was derived from the Bikol word ¡°Magayon,¡± which literally means beautiful. The peak, likened to the legendary beauty Daragang Magayon, is often concealed by clouds urging first-time visitors to stay longer to admire her charm. Despite her enigma which has left a trail of death and destruction brought about by her 15 eruptions, her tantrums have become spectacular fireworks displays to behold.
