Rising more than 8,000 feet (2,400 meters) above sea level, Mayon
Volcano is significant for its perfectly symmetrical cone shape.
Visitors can enjoy a number of activities here such as camping,
climbing, hiking, bird watching and photography. A picturesque spot in
which to admire Mayon Volcano is from the nearby Cagsawa ruins. Mayon is
the most active volcano in the Philippines, having erupted over 49
times in the past 400 years. The most destructive eruption of Mayon
occurred on February 1, 1814 bombarding the nearby towns with volcanic
rocks. The belfry and what is left of the baroque church that was
destroyed by the 1814 eruption can still be seen.
