High in the mountains, the altitude keeps Baguio relatively cool compared to the rest of the Philippines. This makes it an ideal vacation spot for travellers and locals alike who want to get away from the summer heat.
A replica village of traditional Igorot huts and buildings has been built up the hillside just outside of the city, and at the Tam-awan Village you can walk around and see how the local people once lived. The view from the higher huts is very impressive and there is an information office and store where you can buy some handcrafted souvenirs.
Bell Church
The Bell Church is actually a Chinese Taoist temple, with dragons over the top of the red lacquered entrance arch. There are separate pagodas up the hill where you can walk, and a large fish pond. You can take photos outside, but are not permitted photographs inside the building. It's a beautiful yet quiet place to visit while in Baguio.
Ifugao Woodcarvers' Village
To shop for handmade wooden carvings, you won't find better selection in the Baguio area than at the Ifugao Woodcarvers' village. A number of carvers and vendors sell their wares along the road just outside of the city, and you can get there by taxi. Keychains, jewellery, statues and even full-sized furniture can be found for sale; all made from local wood.
Asin Hot Springs
The natural Asin sulphur hot springs are about 10 miles (16km) outside of Baguio, and there are buses that go out there regularly. There is a small resort with a swimming pool but the area is mainly in its natural state. Some of the pools are at the boiling point and will bubble due to the temperature.
Pulag National Park
Nearby to Baguio is Mount Pulag, one of the highest points in the Philippines and the central attraction to the park. It's nearly 3,000 metres above sea level and there are 4 marked trails that will take you right to the top though it will take a full day or longer. The scenery through the park contains forests, grasslands and you will see a view from among the clouds if you reach the top of Mount Pulag.
Flights to Baguio
The Loakan Airport (airport code: BAG) in Baguio does not currently service any commercial airlines for flights to Baguio. Clark Airport (code: CRK) is the next closest but this also has no service from London. So any flights to Baguio would have to arrive at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (code: MNL) in Manila. There is a regular bus service between Manila and Baguio, and the trip takes about 7 hours. Emirates Airlines and Philippine Airlines both transfer once in Dubai, and British Airways also has one connection but in Singapore.Baguio Tourist Attractions
