Travel Experience

Through the wonders of the world

Wright Park, Baguio City, Benguet

I went to Baguio last November 21, 2016 together with My Friends, Classmates and Girlfriend because we were having a retreat there for the next three days. the climate was so cold and the people were generous enough to serve us 3 (three) meals and 2 (two) snacks per day.

Baguio City is known as the “Summer Capital of the Philippines”. It is a ideal location for retreats because of its quite environment.

Baguio is located some 1,540 meters (5,050 feet) above sea level, nestled within the Cordillera Central mountain range in northern Luzon. The city is enclosed by the province of Benguet. It covers a small area of 57.5 square kilometres (22.2 sq mi). Most of the developed part of the city is built on uneven, hilly terrain of the northern section. When Daniel Burnham drew plans for the city, he made the City Hall a reference point where the city limits extend 8.2 kilometres (5.1 mi) from east to west and 7.2 kilometres (4.5 mi) from north to south.

Baguio is the lone Philippine destination in the 2011 TripAdvisor Traveller’s Choice Destinations Awards (Asia category) with the city being among the top 25 destinations in Asia. The Burnham Park, Mines View Park, Teacher’s Camp, and Baguio Cathedral are among the top tourist sites in Baguio.
