The pride of the southwestern province of Albay, the active Mount Mayon volcano has one of the world’s most perfect cones, equaling Japan’s Mount Fuji..
You can see Mayon from almost any point in the nearby city of Legazpi. On good days, you can ride an all-terrain vehicle from Legazpi up Mayon itself. Several trails criss-cross the lower slopes, including a short ride that tours the ruins near Cagsawa and a longer one that ends at the “Green Lava Wall.”.
You can’t go wrong with the six-mile-long “basic trail,” which ends at a lava field. It’s sufficiently challenging for a beginner ATV-rider, with the trail crossing streams and mud-caked fields until you reach the lava field, its rest stop, and helipad..
Getting there: From Manila, you can ride a bus or fly to Legazpi City via Legazpi City Airport. Several reliable providers offer ATV rides from the city to the volcanic slopes, including Your Brother Travel and Tours, Mayon SkyDrive, and Bicol Adventure ATV. .
