Ride a Boat

by miccaela

Burnham ParkIt does have a man-made lake where people can rent boats for a price that definitely suits your budget. It's just around $1-$2 for a 30mins-1hr ride. Bring a snack, chat with friends, cuddle with your special someone as you sail.The park itself also offers a lot of space for different activities. You can jog, walk, have picnic and all other activities you can imagine. They also have a dedicated space for people who want to rent different types of bicycles for a very affordable price and a soccer field where you can practice. ;)

Pick Strawberries

by miccaela

"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: PHP20-25Strawberry Ice Cream: PHP15-20

Burnham Park - The Heart of the Summer Capital

by semper.max

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.

Do some shooting at Mines View

by semper.max

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.

Picnic at Camp John Hay

by semper.max

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.

Strawberry fields forever

by semper.max

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.

Viewing the Mines at Mines View Park

by semper.max

A visit to the Mansion House and Wright Park usually would include a visit to Mines View Park. Mines view park gives you a panoramic view of the copper mines and gold mines in Baguio. In addition, a lot of souvenir shops line up the entrance of the park.

Horsing around in Wright Park

by semper.max

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 riding2. Shopping of native Baguio souvenirs3. Wonderful scenery for photo opsThe 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...

Visit the Mansion House

by semper.max

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.

A visit to the West Point of the Philippines

by semper.max

Baguio City houses the training ground for the future officers of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. The Philippine Military Academy home base is Fort Del Pilar, named after the youngest Filipino general who was killed in Tirad Pass, Gen. Gregorio del Pilar. Definitely worth a visit, you can find war relics, a museum and view the disciplined cadets as they train in the field or march and partake their meals at the mess hall. During Saturdays, they do a regular parade and review. We were fortunate enough to watch a silent drill when we were there since it was the annual PMA homecoming (during February). During the PMA homecoming, you would even be able to see them do a dance drill on the field after a silent drill.
