Mount Masaraga is an extinct stratovolcano located at Ligao City in the province of Albay. The third of three mountains comprise the 'Magayon Trio' or the three beautiful mountains of Albay: Mayon, Malinao, Masaraga. Little known to outsiders, it has revealed itself to be one of Bicol's best-kept hiking secrets, with stunning views of Mt. Mayon, and as the guides discovered, its summit possesses equally spectacular views of the north, revealing Mt. Isarog, Mt. Asog and Lake Buhi.

Although a Masaraga climb can be done as a day hike, it has been historically done as an overnight climb. The first part of the trail passes by open, exposed fields, before entering intermittent forests with the trails getting steeper and steeper. Prior to the summit, there is a final challenging assault but the visual rewards at the summit make it well worth it.
