Details :
Mayon Volcano (The World's Most Perfect Cone) Lying at the eastern portion of the province and rising to around 2,462 m. above sea level, Mayon covers an entire area of 250 sq. km. With a base circumference of 62.8 km., it encompasses the seemingly sleepy towns of Camalig, Malilipot and Sto. Domingo. Mayon Volcano has recorded a total of 45 eruptions since its first recorded eruption in 1616. In her calm, Mayon is overwhelming and magnificent in its grandeur. Unused by serious climbers for decades, the volcano's northern trail exudes the fragrance of forest trees and diverse vegetation and has made a habitat to different unique species. Farther in the forest, other attractions are the moderate to heavy moss-covered earth walls and soil. A peculiar stretch of clearing can be seen as traces of a road bed constructed sometime in the 1930s.
