Mythology:

It is said that the volcano grew from the burial grounds of lovers Magayon and Panganoron. Thus, the ancient Bicolanos named it after the legendary princess-heroine Daragang Magayon (English: Beautiful Lady). After some time, the volcano was chosen as the abode of the supreme god of the Bicolano people, Gugurang, who also chose Mayon as the repository of the sacred fire of Ibalon.[4] Numerous festivals and rituals are associated with the volcano and its landscape.

There are many things to do at Mayon Volcano in the Philippines, including hiking, ziplining, and visiting ruins and churches.
