Introduction
Baguio City, nestled in the mountains of Northern Luzon, Philippines, is famously known as the “Summer Capital of the Philippines” due to its cool climate and scenic views. Established by American colonists in 1900 as a retreat from the lowland heat, Baguio quickly became a popular highland destination.
The city sits at an elevation of 1,540 meters (5,050 feet) in the Cordillera Central mountain range, offering pine-filled landscapes and historic landmarks like Burnham Park, Camp John Hay, and The Mansion. Known for its rich Igorot heritage, vibrant arts scene, and bustling markets, Baguio City remains a beloved destination for both history and nature enthusiasts.
