Hello, how are you during this pandemic? I hope that vaccine is ready so that we can live safely and get back to our normal lives. It brings dread to people but worry no more because I am writing our country's summer capital and nicknamed as the city of Pines, Baguio City.
Baguio is a highland city in the province of Benguet that is perched on top of the Cordillera mountains. When you are in Manila and you plan to have a great place to escape the heat then Baguio's weather is right for you because the weather temperature ranges from 15 to 23 degrees Celcius all year round. Benguet can be conveniently traveled from Pasay via Victory Liner and taxis are also available to roam around the city.

Baguio Strawberry Farm
When we arrived in Baguio their friendly locals served us with strawberry taho. This city is best known for its parks and flower gardens particularly the Strawberry Farm in La Trinidad, the famed La Presa. Other famous parks in Baguio are Burnham Park and Mines View Park. People can also explore a butterfly garden or hike the yellow trail in Camp John Hay for their numerous activity centers and leisure areas.  | Burnham Park

Every February its people celebrate the Panagbenga Festival which means in their local dialect the season of blooming. A lot of tourists look forward to this festivity to see Baguio's abundant flower harvest and vibrant floats decked with the best blooms from their flower farms.

We explored Baguio Botanical Garden to see an array of bright flowers under pine trees and witness stunning sculptures. I should not forget to mention there are art galleries and museums. In Mines View Park we loved Baguio's misty weather and had a great view of Baguio's rice terraces. We also visited Our Lady of the Atonement Cathedral near Session Road as we heed home. Keep safe everyone!
