Great experience driving an ATV down the rough terrain at the side of the Philippines' biggest active volcano, Mayon Volcano!

Amazing Bicol trip!!! 🫶🏻

From Manila, take a domestic flight to Bicol International Airport. You can see Mayon, the most active volcano in the Philippines. Albay Province is a local tourist attraction with Spanish culture.

SILI (Chilli ICE CREAM 🌶 Sili Ice Cream may appear to be tasty, but don't be fooled as it’s not your typical ice cream. The ice cream's strawberry appearance is really appealing. Wait until you try the chilled dessert. Your tongue will tingle, followed by your palate, and as you finish the bowl with the final drop, you may be overtaken with spice. Just keep a few fresh cucumber slices on hand to keep your lips cool. It's one of the original desserts from Bicol. Ice cream with a Sili spice to it. The sili ice cream, created by the 1st Colonial Grill in 2004, uses the local symbol of Bicol, the chilli, to create a unique ice cream flavor. Its main ingredients include "siling labuyo" and coconut milk. It’s a must try dessert when you visit the Bicol Region in the Philippines. 🇵🇭 #wowphilippines #philippinesdessert #travelphilippines #bestislandtraveltowns#romanticrestaurant#deserts
