Mayon Volcano - Home of the Majestic Albayanos

Mayon, 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. It has an elevation of 2,463 m (8,081 ft).

Renowned as the "perfect cone" because of its symmetric conical shape, the volcano with its surrounding landscape was declared a national park on July 20, 1938.

It is said that the volcano grew from the burial grounds of lovers Magayon and Pangaronon. Thus, the ancient Bicolanos named it after the legendary princess-heroine Daragang Magayon (English: Beautiful Lady).

Mayon volcano's last eruption was January 2018. It was also known as the 'beautiful but dangerous' volcano.
