If you wanna visit the ruins you can simply take a jeepney if your staying in guinobatan where I am at right now fare is Php15.00 only, from intersection you can either walk or take a cab for Php8.00
Make sure the weather is pleasant and not cloudy when you go here, cuz you want to see the perfect cone of mayon volcano
the ruins is just a walking distance from the main road . walk instead of riding a trike . :) hand the camera to the guides and they'll do the tricks ! ;))
Get here early in the morning. Best right after sunrise. Usually Mayon is clear of clouds at this time and starts to accumulate after 8:30AM
10-peso entrance fee. While you're sight-seeing, grab an ice candy if you see a vendor. I tried one, and ended up buying everything in his styro.
Arrive early in the morning or late in the afternoon to see a full majestic view of Mayon .

As per locals, it's best to visit Albay in summer if you wanna see the perfect-cone volcano

Best time to visit Cagsawa Ruins is between 6am-7am. Mount Mayon will show up according to the locals. :)
Must cool down with some Mango Smoothies after taking photos
Read up on its history before going so you can appreciate the ruins more.
Orchids are cheap but beautiful here. And the view of Mayon is marvelous.
Make sure to take time to visit the local vendors . Great crafts for sale.
Buy your souvenirs here than buying in the market . Very affordable souvenirs from Albay! :)
I hate that there is a nearby resort . Kills the vibe of the place. They should also move the tiangge further away to preserve the ruins. we filipinos don't know how to preserve heritage sites.
Trike fare from Daraga to here usually costs 40 to 60 pesos. Haggle with the trike drivers so you won't get overcharged! :)
