Mountainous Luzon is home to the country's second-highest peak (Mount Pulag) and most famous volcano (Mayon). Another natural highlight (stand by for a tongue twister) is the world's largest lake on an lsland in a lake on an island - Crater Lake on Vulcano Island in Lake Taal on Luzon. This amazing feature was once a vast inlet of the sea. As a result, it has many saltwater species that have adapted to fresh water - there were even bull sharks until the locals eliminated them in the 1930s.Luzon has the best infrastructure of the Philippines main islands, facilitating exploration, but still offers a breathtaking contrast between the hustle and bustle of its modern cities, a stunning variety of scenery, spectacular coastline and a rural way of life that has hardly changed for centuries.
WHEN TO GO
The climate is temperate, allowing year-round visiting, but April to June is the peak tourist season.
