Baguio:Summer Capital of the Philippines enchants visitors with its cool mountain climate, pine‑lined landscapes, vibrant creative culture, and rich Cordilleran heritage—offering refreshing nature escapes, lively markets, and unforgettable experiences in the Philippines’ beloved City of Pines.
Banaue
Carved on the rugged mountainsides of the Cordilleras in the northern Philippines are rice terraces so beautiful and bountiful beyond belief. How the Ifugao people’s forefathers built them 2,000 years ago, reshaping immoveable cliffs and diverting spring water from nearby jungle forests into a complex network of irrigation, remains a mystery. No wonder they are considered the eighth wonder of the world.
