La Trinidad, is the capital town of Benguet. This valley produces not just the flowers but also STRAWBERRY which many believed are from Baguio City. If you want free strawberry, go buy directly from a farm. There, you can eat for free while picking what you will buy.
Crystal Cave got its pathway cemented, but, where have all the crystals gone? Unfortunately, most of the crystal stones which made the cave glitter before were believed to have been "mined" by the locals and were sold to visitors. (Ayyayyayyayyay!!!) Only those that are "hard-to-get", were left but they are too few to keep the cave's luster.
The nit-picking allapos (old folks) at The Igorot Staircase of Barrio Fiesta in Baguio City. The odd one out? That's me! Hindi po ako Igorot, este estatwa, tao po ako.
It's becoming one of the favorite tambayan (hang-out) in the city. Shopping, foods, entertainment and all the usual stuffs you are looking in a mall are here. Plus, in the decks, you can have a view of a pine-full forest, Burnham Park, the Baguio Cathedral, the University of the Cordilleras and other parts of the downtown.
Japanese Garden. A garden within the garden. It's beautiful! But they forgot to plant some Japanese bamboo which is one significant component of Japanese (and even Chinese) landscaping.
Formerly Baguio Colleges Foundation (BCF), the University of the Cordilleras (UC) pioneered tertiary education in the region. It is one of the best academic institutions in Northern Luzon.
Mines View Park is supposed to provide view of untouched trees and mountains. But thanks to development. Roofs of different colors have cluttered the view. (Sigh!) Fortunately, the area is still worth visiting specially in a not-so-sunny day when fogs rise up from the river bed way down below and make the mountains appear as if they are floating.
Burnham Lake. A man-made lagoon at the center of Burnham Park. The benches around the lake provides a good resting place while watching the activity on the water.
The Football Field, also called Melvin Jones Park, is another favorite spot for historical, cultural and sports events. is one of the most conspicuous area of Burnham Park. (Of course it is! With such size, how can anyone miss this place. )
The mother of all parks in the city of pines. Located in the heart of Baguio, Burnham Park serves as a landmark, an amusement park and place for major activities.
