Places to go. A little room to wander.
THE SHORTLIST

Baguio
This former R&R facility for American military personnel during the American occupation was turned over to the Philippine Government in 1991. Now under the auspices of the Bases Conversion & Development Authority (BCDA), Camp John Hay is a sort of country club complete with an 18-hole golf course, horseback riding and camping, among other activities. A condotel is in operation. This place can get very crowded on weekends.

Baguio
Enjoy the view of the beautiful mountain scenery with other various attractions... And that's just it. This place is more of a tourist trap. The scenic view is honestly mediocre - with lots of houses dotting the hills; not too breathtaking. There are lots of vendors selling plants and souvenirs. Probably the best place to buy garden plants in Baguio, but there is no need to hastily buy souvenirs and trinkets here, they are just as available elsewhere in the city.

Kennon Road, Camp 6
Limestone sculpture of a lion by the Baguio chapter of the Lions Club. It is carved by Ifugao artist Anselmo Bayang Day-ag and is considered as the Baguio's "entrance marker" for tourists coming from south of the city.

Fort Gen.Gregorio del Pilar

A note before you go. Start with Igorot Stone Kingdom, then decide whether Camp John Hay deserves a separate visit rather than rushing both. The suggested days are an editable grouping, not a timed tour. Visit allowances exclude transfers, meals and queues; confirm the exact entrance and current visiting arrangements for Philippine Military Academy (PMA) before setting off.

BEFORE YOU SET OFF
Similar to Manila, jeepneys ply various routes within Baguio and its immediate surroundings. Majority of jeepneys going out of the city (P.M.A., Country Club, etc.) are stationed in Burnham Park where they normally load passengers to their destinations. It is possible to a rent a jeepney but it is not advisable when trekking long distances. More convenient for tourists perhaps, taxis are also common but once you are in the outskirts may be a bit hard to come by. Taxis abound in Baguio. The rate is for the first , with / increments thereafter.
Igorot Stone Kingdom and Camp John Hay are about 5.4 km apart in a straight line. Use the route link to compare the actual streets or transport connections before putting both in the same morning; the measurement is not a walking distance or a transfer estimate.
