The most perfect conical volcano in the world

✈️Transportation
Domestic flights to Manila, transfer to Legazpi, the names of airports in the Philippines are different on domestic OTA platforms, search directly for the three-letter code DRP
The punctuality rate of Philippine airlines is extremely extremely extremely extremely extremely low, make sure to allow at least 3 hours for connecting flights. If you are in a hurry, speak to the flight attendants before boarding about the tight schedule of your subsequent flight, usually, there are seats near the cabin door reserved for such changes, and the moment you step out of the plane, don't hesitate, rush in the right direction, you need to be faster than the others on the same flight to get to customs, as the clearance speed here is also very slow.
It is recommended for those who are transferring to choose the same airline for both flights, it's more convenient for rebooking in case you miss the connection. Cebu Pacific is convenient for transfers, all within T3, while Philippine Airlines and AirAsia's domestic segments in the Philippines require going to T2, which is about a 15-minute taxi ride away, assuming no traffic. The airport shuttle bus intervals are long, so it's better to take a direct Grab taxi, the cost should not exceed 270 pesos, and you can pay with Alipay or cash.
🏨Hotels
There are not many good hotels in Legazpi, just choose a cleaner one. This time I stayed at Hotel Sentro Legazpi. The location of this hotel is good, there are many places to eat around, there is a night market, supermarket, fruit market, fried chicken shop... The hotel's breakfast is also rich, there is no air conditioning, but a cooling one, the noise is a bit loud. About three hundred per night.

We chose to rent a car to the volcano, a half-day trip, the price was negotiated from 3500 down to 2500. Initially contacted a taxi driver, who said the price was set by the company, he couldn't reduce it, later found a private car. Didn't book ATV with the driver, if you want ATV, understand the prices well before booking.
