… or what it should’ve been when we were there.

A recent visit to Daraga, Albay gave us the chance to see one of the world’s most beautiful places. Mayon Volcano, boasts of a nearly perfect cone shape. Others say that its beauty now does not even compare to how majestic and how perfect it was before. It is the Philippines’ most active volcano, with its last eruption in 2000, 47th since it first erupted in 1616.
A few meters and a few minutes walk past the Cagsawa ruins, lies this somewhat dainty stream, probably what used to be a lava trail in the past. Now a nice place for photographers or even non-photographers, one can enjoy a different view of the volcano or perhaps dip his feet on the shallow waters and feel its cool and refreshing flow. Highly recommended for tired feet.
Definitely something to re-visit when I go back to Bicol.
