Baguio the summer capital of the Philippines, perched high in the Cordillera Central Mountains, is a great place to escape the heat of the Philippine lowlands. Camp John Hay, originally built as a recreation area for U.S. soldiers, now is a full-fledged resort complete with a world-class golf course. Perfect getaway for this summer season! So come Visit the Philippines and go to Baguio City and experience one of the best Tourist spot of this great country, 

TOURIST PLACES IN BAGUIO:

Burnham Park
Designed by and named after premier American architect and urban planner, Daniel Hudson Burnham.The park retains much of Daniel Burnham's original design and layout a century ago, with a few features added, in true Filipino fashion, to make it a vibrant center of activity for everyone to enjoy.


Baguio Cathedral
One of the country's' most beautiful architectural structures and easily Baguio City's most magnificent building, richly-decorated inside, it stands majestically atop Mount Mary Hill, with a wonderful bird's-eye view of Session Road and the city's landscape.



Session Road
Session Road is the main thoroughfare of Baguio City and its commercial center, with a variety of shops, stores and offices lining each side.



Camp John Hay
This former rest & recreation facility for American soldiers in Asia is a tourist  destination in itself.


Mines View Park
A ridge located at the extreme northeast side of the city, past The Mansion and Wright Park, Mines View Park boasts of a spectacular view of Benguet's gold and copper mines and the Cordillera mountains. 


Kennon Road
Kennon Road was built to connect Kafagway, later on chartered as Baguio City, to the lowlands. According to Filipino architect, author and actor -- and Baguio native -- Ernesto Zarate, his research shows that the Americans started building simultaneously from the top (which is Baguio City) and from the base (in La Union), and found that the two roads would not meet, necessitating a  winding road through Bued River Canyon, affectionately referred to as the "Zigzag."


Strawberry Farm
Located just 30 minutes from Baguio City, Strawberry Farm "opens it doors" for the activity from November to May every year.


Baguio Botanical Garden
A huge piece of land that is owned by the Philippine government, Botanical Garden, like Burnham Park is one of those prime pieces of real estate that provides priceless peace and tranquility to a city that is in danger of becoming an urban jungle.
