Philippine Institute of Volcanology & Seismology

Around Manila


The Philippine Institute of Volcanology & Seismology, on the lakeside 3km west of the main Tagaytay road junction, houses a monitoring station, with a very basic on-site museum detailing previous eruptions and seismographs of recent events. If the door is locked just knock and somebody might materialise to let you in.
