Baguio City: A Cool Escape in the Philippines

We flew 8,000 miles to Baguio City in the Philippines, and nobody told us it would feel

like this. The moment we stepped out, the mountain air hit different.

No humidity, just pure crisp coolness at 5,000 feet elevation. We're talking pine

trees everywhere, strawberry farms you can pick yourself, and locals wearing hoodies in June.

Our group spent mornings chasing sunrise at Mines View Park and afternoons getting lost in

night markets selling everything from woven blankets to fresh taho. This isn't your

typical tropical Philippines vacation. This is where Filipinos escape the heat, and now we understand

why.
