It has a lot of beautiful scenic view to offer to visitors and tourist.
Bicol has always been a popular destination for both local and international travelers, as it is home to one of the most beautiful works of Mother Nature.
It has been my favorite region in Luzon, they have everything that I crave for in such a place.
The landscapes, the view, the rock formations, the waves, those surfing spots, the locals, the kind-hearted welcome from certain group of people.
When the word Bicol pops up in one’s mind, I am sure that most people will always think of the Mayon Volcano, isn’t it? The Mayon Volcano, located in Legazpi, Albay is the iconic symbol of the region and is recognized worldwide for its perfectly cone-shaped feature and loved by the tourists.

When in Bicol One of the best spots to view awesome Mayon Volcano that you should not miss to visit is the Cagsawa Ruins , so called because this is where the original church of the town of Daraga was situated
The bell tower miraculously survived and over time, it has developed into a top destination for tourists and locals alike for the beautiful view of the Mayon Volcano in the background.
All that remains of the original church is its bell tower, which features in many of the photographs that tourists take of Mayon Volcano from that spot.

I would recommend this place for nature and adventure lovers. If you want to see the beautiful sunrise, I recommend you to start early in the morning. Although, it is also good to visit Binurong late afternoon so that you will not feel the heat of the scorching sun.
I also recommend you to wear comfortable clothes and footwear. This takes about 30 to 40 minutes of struggle, but the view on the top as soon as dawn breaks is worth every drop of sweat. If you are an adventurous type of person, you will enjoy this trek because you will experience different kinds of path. Some parts are rocky and grassy. Usually when I visit a destination once, I have no real urge to return, but Binurong Point is the kind of place I really wouldn’t mind going back to again and staying longer.

LOCATION: Binurong Point is located in Brgy. Guinsaanan Proper in Baras Town, Catanduanes, Philippines.

The caves are mostly made up of natural limestone and because of its natural ventilation, the Hoyop-hoyopan Cave is an ideal summer spot for adventure lovers and tourists coming to this part of Bicolandia.
