01 · About the City

More than just cool air — it's a feeling. It's home.

Nestled in the Cordillera mountains at 1,540 meters above sea level, Baguio City is the Summer Capital of the Philippines — a highland city where centuries-old pine forests and Ibaloi indigenous culture breathe life into every corner.

Known for its cool climate, vibrant arts scene, strawberry farms, and the iconic Burnham Park, Baguio is not just a destination. It's a state of mind — misty, warm-spirited, and beautifully Filipino.
