By Air- PAL and Cebu Pacific flies Manila to Legaspi daily. In Cebu Pacific (our pick), the price is approximately Php 2500.00 but if you're lucky to get the Piso fair which we did, One way is only about Php 1500.00. The travel rime is about an hour.
By Land- Isarog bus lines (to Naga), BLTB, JB line Bicol Express and Philtranco bus company. Price range is from Php 600.00 - 900.00. Travel time is 7-8 hours.
So far, from all the local destinations I've been to, I feel that the people of Legaspi, are one of the nicest people I've met. They are very hospitable and do not take advantage of local tourists like us. From Legaspi airport, we hired a van going to Mount Mayon (Cagsaua). Travel time is about 2 hours and van rental is about Php 2500.00. You can also ask the driver to bring you places around the area before going to Cagsaua Ruins.
The Cagsaua bell tower is the only landmark left after the eruption of Mount Mayon in the 1814. The whole church was buried under lava and now the bell tower is the most photographed place in Albay. Most Bicolanos said it to be "untouched wrath of nature".

These trick shots are taken by friendly kid tourist guide in the Cagsaua. You don't have to pay them any but it woulb be best to give them some extra for their help
