Mount Isarog

Philippines / Bicol / Gatbo /
Mount Isarog is a potentially active stratovolcano located in the province of Camarines Sur, Philippines, on the island of Luzon. It has an elevation of 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) above mean sea level.

The peak of the mountain marks the point where the borders of six municipalities and one city meet (listed in clockwise direction, starting north): Goa, Tigaon, Ocampo, Pili, Naga City, Tinambac and Calabanga.

Mount Isarog was where local troops of the Philippine Army and Constabulary units and Bicolano guerrillas hid during the Japanese Occupation. In the 1970s, with the leadership of Romulo Jallores and his brother, they established the New People's Army in the Bicol region at the foot of this mountain.

  • mt.isarog is quite amusing and challenging when you take the patag patag trail
  • Try hiking to the so-called "asupre" via Pinaglabanan, Goa, Camarines Sur. Its quite an adventure especially during the Holy Week when many hikers do the thrill. Experience a river with hot spring at the left side and at the right, the spring so cold that you'd really chill. Have a nice warm bath where these two spring meets.
