Mayon Volcano

Albay, Bicol Region, Philippines

Mayon Volcano, located in Albay province in the Bicol Region of the Philippines, stands at 2,463 meters as one of the world's most perfectly symmetrical cones, with steep slopes averaging 35-40 degrees formed by layers of lava and ash.

Known as the "Queen of the Philippines" for its stunning beauty dominating the landscape around Legazpi City, this active stratovolcano on the Pacific Ring of Fire has erupted over 50 times since 1616, including deadly events like 1814 that killed over 1,200 people, sending pyroclastic flows and lahars down its 40 ravines.

Part of Mayon Volcano Natural Park covering 5,776 hectares, it features a 250-meter crater, seven cinder cones, and lush surroundings ideal for hiking and viewing, though frequent alerts restrict summit access amid ongoing unrest like recent lava flows and rockfalls.
