Cagua Volcano

Cagua Volcano is an active stratovolcano in Cagayan Valley with a crater featuring steep walls and hot thermal springs scattered around it. The mountain's slopes show the classic layered structure formed by repeated volcanic eruptions over time.

This volcano experienced underground steam and water explosions in the early 1900s, marking its most recent recorded activity. Earlier documented eruptions dating back to the 1800s show a pattern of dormant and active periods.

The communities around this volcano have developed traditional stories about their connection to this active mountain over many generations. These stories remain part of how local people understand and relate to the landscape today.

Climbing requires careful planning and checking current volcanic activity reports before heading out to the trails. Local authorities can provide information about safe access points and necessary precautions for visitors.

Several hot springs of varying temperatures emerge from the slopes of this volcano. These thermal waters reveal that heat and activity continue beneath the surface.
