Overview
Mayon Volcano, also known as Mount Mayon, is a sacred and active stratovolcano in the province of Albay in Bicol Region, on the large island of Luzon in the Philippines.
Description
The perfect cone of Mt Mayon (2462m) rises dramatically from the flat Albay terrain, and can be seen from as far away as Naga and Catanduanes. The volcano’s name derives from the Bicol daragan magayon (beautiful single lady), and the Philippines' most active volcano is a cantankerous beauty at that, responsible for over 40 deadly eruptions since 1616.
