Bagging It!

Mount Masaraga is a stratovolcano located south of Mount Malinao near Ligao City, Albay province, Luzon. The route leads up from the south beyond Tambo at a road junction (300m). A track seems to lead as far as 500m which looks to be the start of the forest.

Practicalities

    • Getting there: The standard approach is to travel to Ligao City in Albay, which is accessible from Legazpi City by bus, van, or jeepney—a journey of about 30–45 minutes. Once in Ligao City, local barangay officials or residents can be consulted for information on possible access points or footpaths leading toward the base of Mount Masaraga.
    • Permits: There is no official permit system or protected area framework reported for Mount Masaraga. As with other lesser-visited peaks in the Philippines, climbers should coordinate with barangay or municipal offices for courtesy and safety, and to request permission for upland access.
    • Water sources: There are no published details regarding permanent water sources along the ascent of Mount Masaraga.
