"Strawberry fields forever."
This is one of the things I looked forward to during our last visit to Baguio City. But I wasn't able to get the chance to pick strawberries straight from the vines because it's somewhat expensive. PHP 300-350 for a kilo of strawberries because according to the owners, a strawberry vine is so delicate that it has its own proper way of picking. Being a newbie, for sure I will harm the plant and it would no longer produce strawberries again. Of course I don't wanna do that. So, we just decided to take photos along the fields then just buy strawberries for PHP100-120/kilo! Sweet!

By the way, they also grow lettuce of different kinds and are also being sold within the area for a very cheap price compared here in Manila.

PS. Don't forget to taste their authentic Strawberry Taho and Ice Cream. Delicious!
Strawberry Taho: PHP20-25
Strawberry Ice Cream: PHP15-20

Baguio won't be complete without a visit to Burnham park. It's a complete park offering visitors a choice of activities such as boating, biking, picnicking. There are even occasions (usually during the Panagbenga month and Christmas season) that temporary stalls offering various items such as clothings, food, etc. can be found in the park.

Most jeepneys going to different parts of Baguio also passes through Burnham Park hence if you wish to use public transportation, it is wise to use Burnham park as your starting destination.

Not the shooting that involves guns but cameras. You can have your picture donning the traditional Igorot costume. Have your picture taken riding a horse and even have your picture taken with a Saint... a Saint Bernard, of course.

Camp John Hay was designed to be a place for rest and recreation of US Army personnel. You'd find people using the picnic areas which most of the time are situated under a shade of pine trees. Hiking trails over the hilly terrain ensures a good workout if you ever need one. And yes, there's a shopping and food center in case you fail to bring food and drinks with you. It's certain a fun place to relax as it was designed to be.

Located a few kilometers outside of Baguio City are the strawberry fields of La Trinidad. Here, you can spend your time picking your own strawberries. Have a taste of the strawberry wine and visit the market for fresh fruits and vegetables at a relatively low price.

Literally, you do horse around in Wright Park. The Wright Park riding circle makes it a perfect place to learn how to ride a horse or a pony. A few of the reasons to visit Wright Park:

1. Horseback riding
2. Shopping of native Baguio souvenirs
3. Wonderful scenery for photo ops

The fact that it's near the Mansion House makes it a must see in Baguio. It's Wright across the mansion. :) Talk about hitting two birds with one stone...

The Mansion House is the official residence of the President of the Philippines in Baguio. It was originally built during the American period in 1908 to serve as the summer residence of the US Governor-General.

The Mansion House is actually older than Baguio city itself since Baguio City was incorporated as a city only in 1909.
