Baguio City has many names which describe this mountain getaway high in the Cordillera Mountain Ranges. It is commonly referred to as The Summer Capital of the Philippines, or The City of Pines.

Whatever you want to call Baguio City, the one thing remains constant in comparison to the rest of the Philippines, it is it's temperate climate. The humidity that sucks the life out of you in other areas of the Philippines is not here. In general it is on average a good 8 degrees C cooler than the rest of the Philippines. It also does not get much warmer than 26 degrees C. This is nice comfortable living.

On the down side, during the wet season from June to October, Baguio has more than it's fair share of rain, sometimes up to twice as much as anywhere else in the Philippines. The upside is that typhoons do not batter the city as it is relatively shielded by the mountains of the Cordilleras.

Baguio is fresh and delightful, as you start your final ascent to Baguio, you can smell the pine trees before you can see them, the smell is clean and crisp and is a great way to start your journey and exploration of this unique Philippine city.

Baguio was first established by the Americans in 1909, who recognized the tourist potential of the area, it was not until World War II that the Americans established a recreational area for there service men calledCamp John Hay. Camp John Hay is now a magnificent tourist recreation area complete with an 18 hole Golf course and world class resort.
