Mount Isarog, Active stratovolcano in Camarines Sur, Philippines.
Mount Isarog rises to 2,011 meters above sea level as an active stratovolcano featuring a breached crater spanning 2.5 kilometers across with fumaroles and hot springs indicating ongoing geothermal activity.
Mount Isarog served as a strategic refuge for Filipino guerrillas during World War II Japanese occupation and later became the founding grounds for the New People's Army in the 1970s.
The indigenous Isarog Agta tribe considers Mount Isarog sacred, believing it houses spirits and deities who protect the land, maintaining traditional customs and spiritual practices connected to the mountain.
The Panicuason trail offers the most popular climbing route to Mount Isarog summit, requiring 8 to 10 hours through mossy forests with six designated campsites available for overnight stays.
Mount Isarog summit marks the convergence point where six municipalities and Naga City borders meet, making it a significant geographic landmark for local administrative boundaries in Camarines Sur province.
