Have you seen Mt. Mayon or Mayon volcano almost upclose? With its towering height of 8,077 feet (2,462 meters), the almost perfect-coned mountain is the main tourist attraction of the province of Albay and one of Bicol regions’ natural wonder.

If you have not been to the province all your life, be forewarned. You won’t believe the magical thing the iconic sight will make you feel and let you do!
