📍 Destination Overview
Baguio sits in the Cordillera Mountains of northern Luzon at about 1,500 metres, a cool, pine-ringed highland escape and the Philippines' 'Summer Capital'. Planned as a mountain resort in American colonial times, it offers boat rides in Burnham Park, strawberry picking at nearby farms and the pink twin spires of Baguio Cathedral. The Panagbenga Flower Festival adds colourful charm.
