Baguio

Baguio is a city on the Cordillera Administrative Region in the middle of the island of Luzon, in the Philippines. Due to its cool mountain weather, Baguio is considered the "Summer Capital of the Philippines." The city is abundant with pine tree, so it is nicknamed the City of Pines.

Introduction

Baguio, to many, is best known as the "Summer Capital of the Philippines", with its cool climate making this a spot to escape the chaotic scenes in Manila. The city is also home to tropical pine forests, lending the city the nickname "City of Pines". It serves as a tourist hub in the Cordilleras, serving as a jumping point to other tourist spots like Mount Pulag, Sagada and Banaue.

History

The city originated as a hill outpost by the Americans in the 1900s. Road connection is provided by the zigzagging Kennon Road and the city is planned by the noted architect and urban planner Daniel Burnham. Originally intended to be the summer capital of the Philippines and then an American colony, it soon gained its position as a popular tourist destination to many Manileños escaping the heat, noise and crowds of the metropolis. The city has been badly damaged by the destructive Central Luzon earthquake in 1990, but the city since recovered.

Weather in Baguio

Baguio has a humid subtropical weather, with cooler temperatures at the cool dry season and milder temperatures during the rest of the year. The coldest temperatures ever recorded in the city is 6.3|C. Frost can form during the cool nights between November and April. The city is best visited during the dry season between November and April, when the northeast monsoon blows through northern Luzon and rainfall is at its lowest. The cool dry season is Baguio's peak season for tourists. The rest of the year is rather rainy and it is rather the off season for tourists.

It generally takes about 5-7 hours to get to Baguio by bus. An hour longer than it would by vehicle due to stopovers along the way.
• Victory Liner 16.4062376,120.598281 ☎ +63 2 727 4534, +63 2 833 5019 has hourly bus service to Baguio from its Monumento Main terminal in Caloocan City, Cubao and Pasay terminals. Buses are generally modern and air-conditioned but seats are sized generally for Filipinos and tall people would need to take advantage of the various stopovers to stretch their legs.

From Clark airport

• Loakan Airport IATA Flight Code: BAG 16.375,120.619444 - Loakan Airport - - Visibility challenges and the short runway affect the aur. Platinum Skies is the only commercial operator that serves Baguio and the rest are mostly small propeller-operated aircraft and helicopters.

How to travel to Baguio by car

From Manila to Baguio by car, take the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) from Quezon City until Clark and then exit to the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) and then to the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX) up to Urdaneta, Binalonan or Pozzorubio in Pangasinan. From there, you will drive the old McArthur Highway until Rosario, La Union. Motorists drive through the provinces of Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac and Pangasinan and La Union (if via Marcos Highway) or Benguet (if via Kennon Road). Of the three main routes leading up to Baguio and the scenic Kennon Road is the shortest, taking only three-quarters to one hour from the foot of the mountains in Rosario, Pangasinan. Marcos Highway starts in Pugo, La Union (a little further to the northwest from Rosario) and takes about one hour but is a wider, less winding road with a more gradual uphill incline and is safer in the rainy season. It has stunning vistas of the South China Sea on a clear day. Naguillan Road is taken by travellers from the north and will take longer. All three roads can get blocked by landslides and Kennon Road with its long winding stretches is both scenic and dangerous. If you want to drive to Baguio, it would be best to hire a Filipino driver for this purpose. Most rental vehicle companies in the Philippines offer chauffeur driven rentals in addition to the usual self-driven rentals. Visitors need to keep in mind that while it takes at average 6-7 hours to get to Baguio by car, it takes much longer during holiday weekends like Holy Week.

Stay safe in Baguio

As a number one rule, always secure your belongings. Keep your passports/visas/important papers at the hotel safe (if there is one available at your hotel) or in a safe place. Cellphone snatching and purse dippers are a problem but common sense and safety can keep you safe. Crime normally increases during the holidays and Panagbenga as thousands of people visit Baguio City.
