Kapuntukan Hill: The Sleeping Lion

Kapuntukan Hill is a hill below Mayon Volcano. It is a two-hectare land and is barely half a kilometer from the Legazpi Port. It is described as the sleeping lion because of its form and contour.

The view can be more appreciated within a radius of about five kilometers. It is located within the barangays Dapdap and Victory Village. Atop the hill, one is afforded a beautiful vista of Legazpi at night and the neighboring municipalities of Manito and Rapu-Rapu. Kapuntukan Hill is also a perfect place to spot the panoramic view of the Legazpi Port District and the Albay Gulf.
