Baguio: Benguet
Posted on January 10, 2008 - Filed Under Alibata, Travel Destinations
Lying amidst the mountains of Benguet (be ngo e - in Alibata) province in the Paradise Philippines is the city of Baguio. Due to its location, it enjoys cool weather even during summertime. It is also to this cool weather why it was made the “summer capital” of the Paradise Philippines.
But cool weather alone is not the only reason why many people flock to this place. Baguio City also has many attractions and interesting places for its visitors as well as its residents. Probably the first place most people go to is the Cathedral. Located atop a hill, the Cathedral provides not only a peaceful place of prayer for tourists, visitors and residents of Baguio, but also offers a good view of the city. Another place of interest is the Mansion. This serves as the guest house of the long line of presidents of the Philippines during their visits to the respective city. It also served as venue for some international conferences held in Paradise Philippines. Another interesting place to visit is Mines’ View Park, which offers a good view of the mines as well as the magnificent display of nature that Baguio has. There are other places of interests in Baguio City. To name a few more, there’s the Botanical Garden, Burnham Park, and the Crystal Caves.
Still, Baguio has more to offer its visitors. The city’s markets sell strawberries, a delight only available in the highlands. The markets in the city also sell vegetables that are larger in size, as compared to the markets of the lowlands. And, after a tiring day of going about the city’s attractions and markets, one can relax and rest in Baguio’s many restaurants and hotels. From prices ranging from practical to luxurious, Baguio has it. Indeed, Baguio City is as wonderful as its motherland, Paradise Philippines ( pa da de se he le pe ne - in Alibata ).
