This LTO office serves the residents and visitors of the City of Ligao, ensuring that the agency’s operations are easily and conveniently accessible in the city and within the premises of its geographical area of responsibility (GAOR). The LTO Ligao District Office was also created so the agency can be more efficient and effective in implementing the rules and regulations on the roads as the operations are now much closer to the people they want to serve.

Aside from a good panoramic view of the volcano, however, the city is also naturally gifted with natural attractions, including caves, hills, lakes, and coastal areas.
