Taal Volcano Natural Park

Rising modestly at just over 300 meters, Taal Volcano ranks among the lowest volcanoes globally, yet the volcano remains active and could erupt again at any time, posing risks to both people and wildlife that inhabit its unique ecosystem.

Nestled within an expansive caldera lake in Batangas, this geological marvel is a layered wonder: a crater lake within a volcano situated on an island which itself is within a lake.
