I've been to Bicol Region twice. First visit was spent mostly by touring Legazpi City, exploring the famous world class resort known as Misibis Bay Resort and a little wander in CamSur Wakeboarding Park in Naga. As what the locals always say: wakeboarding, old churches and world-class resort are not the only things that define Bicol, so, I planned another trip to explore this region more.
I've been to Cagsawa Ruins and took several pictures of Mt. Mayon in different angle from Cagsawa park but I have not tried seeing Mt. Mayon with 5kilometers away from its peak and never reaching its base in a rough-rugged-fun way. Having said that, I'm quiet curious how it felt like. I contacted Tourific Travel and Services, one of my trusted partners-in-crime when it comes to travelling up North (they offer several tour packages in the North part of the country). I shared my idea and they immediately offered a customized itinerary for my second trip. We went first to some churches along old Albay area like the church right next to the city hall and Daraga church. From there, we went straight to Cagsawa ruins and rented an ATV for the 4 for us. Three of us opted to ride our own while one of our friends chose to ride along with our tour guide. It was fun. We were taught first how to navigate and run the ATV and we have a quick safety discussion about the equipment and geography of the place.
We had so much fun. The route to the summit is not easy.
