Southeast Luzon
The southern Luzon peninsula of Bicol is home to two of the Philippines’ emblematic tourist attractions: the whale sharks of Donsol and the regal - and deadly - Mt Mayon volcano.
But the outdoor action hardly stops there. Bicol is home to no less than 22 volcanos, all of which can be climbed. Secluded beaches, limestone cliffs and nonpareil coastal exploration opportunities are available on the Caramoan Peninsula and elsewhere. Dive outfits have sprouted up recently to take advantage of newly discovered sites like the ‘manta bowl’ in Ticao Pass, off southwest Sorsogon, and Bagasbas Beach, near Daet, is one of the country’s more laid-back and accessible surfing locales.
