Albay Holidays
Albay, located in the Bicol region of the Philippines, offers a mix of natural beauty, history, and adventure. Its main attraction is Mayon Volcano, known for its near-perfect cone. You can hike its trails, take an ATV tour through its rugged landscape, or capture the volcano’s dramatic silhouette from the Cagsawa Ruins, where the bell tower of a church buried by a volcanic eruption in 1814 still stands.
Beyond Mayon, Albay delivers a range of experiences for all types of travellers. Discover the historic Daraga Church, with its intricate baroque architecture and sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. Swim in the cool waters of Vera Falls, tucked away in a lush forest setting. Glide across Sumlang Lake on a bamboo raft, with Mayon’s peak providing a perfect backdrop. For those interested in natural history, Hoyop-Hoyopan Cave reveals fascinating rock formations and looks into the area’s pre-colonial past.
Legazpi Boulevard invites a relaxed evening stroll along the coast, with local restaurants serving Bicolano specialities like Bicol Express and Laing. Albay’s blend of activities and sights ensures a fulfilling experience, whether looking for adventure, culture, or a laid-back escape.
