Itinerary

day one

Arrival

Your Legazpi and Sorsogon adventure kicks off with an early hotel check-in to get you settled in comfortably.

Our first stop is Daraga Church, a captivating Catholic church with a Baroque-inspired design that has stood since the 1770s. It's famous for its pristine white facade and offers stunning views of Mt. Mayon. This architectural marvel is also a designated National Cultural Treasure.

Next, we'll visit the hauntingly beautiful Cagsawa Ruins. These remnants tell a somber story of Mt. Mayon's eruption in the 1810s, which tragically buried the town and its church, claiming countless lives. Learn about the history and resilience of the region as you gaze upon the remains of a church that stood over a century ago.

Prepare for an adrenaline rush as we embark on an ATV adventure around the rugged terrain of Mt. Mayon. The length of this thrilling ride depends on your chosen package – shorter rides are more budget-friendly, while longer ones offer more sights to take in.

After an action-packed day, enjoy a sweet and spicy treat at 1st Colonial Creamery, famous for its Chili Ice Cream.
