PHOTO: It’s more fun in Albay



By JOEY CO

LOCAL TOURISTS enjoyed basking under the sun with the magnificent Mayon Volcano as a natural backdrop. This photo was taken at the Ligñon Hill Nature Park, Legazpi City where visitors can have a close up view of the famous volcano while looking at the sprawling city below and the Gulf of Albay.There are also a variety of exciting activities such as a 320mr zipline and other adventures and extreme sports like hiking, biking, rappelling, and paintball game. Former City Prosecutor Lourdes Gonzales (seated) of Naga City relishes the company of her children and their families. The best time to ascend the hill is at early morning just before sunrise, while the air is cool. Visitors have the opportunity to witness the morning sun rise up from the Albay Gulf and cast its golden rays on the city below. Early morning is also the best time to view Mayon since it is usually in all its naked glory at this time of day. An alternative is the sunset or evening walk up the hill where one can see the sparkling city lights sprawled below and enjoy the cool breeze from the ocean. Aside from the spectacular sights, Ligñon Hill Nature Park also offers fun filled and thrilling activities. Visitors can also enjoy a variety of exciting activities including a 320-meter zipline (Php200) where the adventurous can soar through the air harnessed to a cable. The hill also offers other adventure activities and extreme sports, such as hiking, biking, rappelling, paintball, and soon, airsoft. – Bicol Mail
