Baguio Botanical Garden

A grandeur entrance flocked by a couple of natives in their Igorot clothing is the one of the noticeable attribute of Baguio Botanical Garden. This is a huge park which is about as big as the Burnham Park open for all for free. This park is also known as the Igorot Village which replicates the usual pacified and serene village of Baguio's native residents. The ground is filled with pine trees and a number of Igorot huts where you can spend time chilling. You can also see plants that are for sale inside.

Upon entering, a huge creative artwork welcomes you. You can also see around Igorots that you may hire to post with you in your photographs. Each person's fee is 10.00.

BTW, Just watch out because they usually join in your photo shoot as a bunch without permission and then pester you to pay them. One of the great attraction inside is the huge Igorot statue, though you have to walk for quite a distance in order to reach it. I did not see it because my sister was pursuing to go home.

The Mansion House- Baguio City

A perfect spot for postcard pictorial- The Mansion House. A resemblance of the famous Buckingham Palace in London England. It is the summer house of the President of the Philippines.

The Mansion House is located right across the quadrilateral shallow pool of the Wright Park. It is much older than the city itself which was built in 1908 and utilized as rest house of the American Governor Generals. The original structure was destroyed during World War II, thus the house was rebuilt in 1947. Since then up to now, this house has been used by various Presidents.

Tourists can take photos outside the gate, or even can enter a little past the gate when the President is not residing. You can also buy a souvenir shirt by secretly asking the guard. He sells shirt with a logo on it (check out my sis' shirt).

Mines View in Baguio City!

A perfect site to witness the spectacular and breathtaking view of Benguet’s gold and copper mines. Mines View Park offers an overwhelming nature encounter as you see valleys and landscapes surrounding you. A sunny day will give you a vivid view of the valleys thus don’t miss renting some of the binoculars in the view deck for you to clearly see it. It will just cost a few pennies. More often the area is foggy thus the the scenery is obscured. So grab those cameras and enjoy while it is still majestically seen!

Here is my list of MUST DOS when you get a chance to pass by Mines View Park:

1)The park is really congested with booths which will make your tour much pleasurable. One of the great booths is a photoshoot section where you can have a shot on cuddly St. Bernard dogs… I took a shot with a dog named Doglas and he was really cute in our photo… ^___^ The 3 shots will cost you 50.00.

2)Another booth you will surely enjoy is a HENNA tattoo section. Choose a tattoo design which matches your Baguio feeling and flaunt it like you look so hot. Hahaha…

3)You can also enjoy a photoshoot with Baguio’s known costumes for Igorots. Rent some clothes and headdresses and internalize the Baguio look. I did enjoy my costume… You can really get nude and rent what they call the “bahag” which covers only your private part.. X_X Costume rent is worth 10.00

4)You can also hop on in some of their cool horses and pose as if you are a horse magnet or something… just be careful as you climb up. And be mindful of your shot cause each click is worth 10.00…. One thing I have observed is that the owner will let you borrow their hat so that you will take another shot and will pay another 10.00. shhhaaadddyyy~

5)Rent some Binoculars in the Observation Deck and enjoy a vivid view of the Valleys… Or just sit back and relax on scattered benches…

SAFETY REMINDER:
*** Be careful that you don’t slip, the stone-made stairway is often wet.

Wright Park- Baguio City

Tour the breathtaking scenery of tall pine trees. Chill with your family at the end part of the park where you can see the huge triangular pool known as the “Pool of Pines” which is lined with enhancing street lamps. In the end part of the pool is a good vision of the Mansion. Wright Park is a definite place for a walk and long chitchats!

UNFORTUNATELY, I was not able to capture a picture in here. :(

You can also rent a pony in an agreed hourly cost. A guide will accompany you in your tour.

I never had the chance to ride my own pony that time since my sister was in a hurry. If given enough time, I would really love to select my own pony from their wide array of options that are for rent. They allow renters to bring along the pony up to the Mines View Park. If you don’t want to ride a pony, but want a picture with it, then they also have a booth where you can take a shot of a cute pony. Prepare 10.00 per shot though.
