Baguio Warnings Or Dangers

Being at a high elevation, Baguio is generally foggy. Add to that the winding road on a steep side of the mountain, it is but advisable to the driver new to the place to take extra precaution when driving. Blowing the horn every now and then helps.

My worst experience was when driving up foggy Marcos Highway at night at just 2-meter visibility condition.. And by default >> the speed would be at a very slow crawling 5kph.

Although Baguio is a city, much of its attraction is its attempt to incorporate nature into it. This being, there are places in baguio which can be really slippery when the rains come. My advice - stay away from places that have ecotrails and mines which Baguio is noted for. If you do go, be sure to bring extra clothes and a bagful of tissue paper.

When visiting the famous Baguio market watch out for pickpockets. Particularly when you have selected a boy or a girl out of a crowd of youngsters offering help for carrying your heavy vegetable bags, the ones who were not lucky to be chosen switch there talents to become pciküpockets.

While you are busy to watch that all vegetables will be packed into your baskets and bags the trailing youngsters watch where you put your change.

Rest assured that your money which you put into your chest pocket of yopur polo shirt does not stay there for long, if your aren't attentive for a spur of a moment.
