UZON
MT ISAROG
Trekking
The six- to eight-hour hike up takes you through the last virgin tropical forest in Luzon. As
you get higher, the vegetation turns to mossy forest, which sheds into sparse grassland and
stony alpine shelves closer to the summit.
HOYOP-HOYOPAN CAVE
Cave
This easily accessible limestone cave's name means 'blowblow', a reference to the cool
and somewhat eerie wind that blows through the cave. Set on a quiet hillside above a pretty
rural valley, inside the cave there are many rock formations.
MT MAYON
Volcano
One of the Philippines' most photographed sights, Mt Mayon (2462m) rises dramatically
from the flat terrain. It's one of the world's most dangerous volcanoes, and has erupted
about 15 times since 1900. You can start early and do the climb in one day or make it a
two-day climb with an overnight stay at either of the two camps.
