Mayon, also known as Mount Mayon, is an active stratovolcano located in the province of Albay in the Bicol Region of the Philippines. It is renowned for its symmetric conical shape and is popular among tourists. The provincial capital of Legazpi serves as the principal gateway to the Bicol Region, located roughly 560 kilometers southeast of Manila. [3][4]
