Daraga sits in the heart of Albay, and the surrounding countryside makes for easy half-day excursions. The most popular outing is Hoyop-Hoyopan Cave in the neighbouring municipality of Camalig, about 15 kilometres west — an accessible limestone cave with pre-Columbian burial remains that pairs neatly with the Cagsawa Ruins for a full morning out. Wherever you go, Mayon Volcano is your constant companion, framing nearly every road and rice paddy in the province.
