Located at the southeastern tip of Luzon, it comprises six provinces—Albay, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, Masbate, and Sorsogon—each presenting a distinct mix of natural beauty, coastal allure, and cultural depth.

The iconic Mayon Volcano, with its near-perfect cone, dominates Albay’s skyline, symbolizing the region’s raw power and grace.

The Caramoan Peninsula and Catanduanes feature secluded beaches and limestone cliffs, ideal for those seeking off-grid adventures.

Donsol, in Sorsogon, is renowned worldwide for its responsible whale shark encounters—an eco-tourism gem.

Bicolanos are known for their warmth and and tenacity, which is evident in their bold, spicy cuisine. Signature dishes such as Bicol Express and Laing combine coconut milk, chili, and local produce to create unforgettable flavors.

Festivals like Peñafrancia in Naga and the Ibalong Festival in Legazpi celebrate faith, folklore, and community spirit.

With maritime links from Masbate and Sorsogon, Bicol serves as a bridge between Luzon and the Visayas—for diverse travel itineraries.

Bicol is not just a place to visit—it is a sensory experience shaped by fire, sea, and the essence of its people.
