Ligñon Hill Nature Park

Ligñon Hill Nature Park in Legazpi City, Albay, is a popular hilltop destination offering stunning 360-degree views of Mayon Volcano, the city, and Albay Gulf. This 156-meter high nature park is one of Legazpi's most well-known landmarks and a must-visit spot for sightseeing and adventure.

The park is a prehistoric cinder cone near the foot of Mayon Volcano and is managed by the city and provincial government. At the summit, visitors can enjoy a viewing deck with coin-operated telescopes, a landscaped promenade, restaurants, and souvenir shops. The park also hosts the Mayon Volcano Observatory, the central monitoring station of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology. Adventure seekers can try the zipline, cross the hanging bridge, or explore the historic 50-foot Japanese tunnel built during World War II. The Kapit Tuko Trail offers a steep but exciting shortcut to the top. Visitors can also enjoy ATV rides that lead to the lava front of Mayon Volcano. For those who prefer a relaxed visit, the hill is accessible by car via a spiral uphill road, or by a steep but paved 20-minute walk. The park is open from 5 AM to 9 PM, and early morning or late afternoon visits are best for cooler weather and beautiful views. Whether for sightseeing, photography, or outdoor adventure, Ligñon Hill Nature Park offers a memorable experience for all types of travelers.
