Baguio 2

Tam-awan Village is a replica of a traditional Cordillera community with reconstructed huts made of hand-hewn pine wood and thatched roofs. The village is a popular haunt of Baguio artists who regularly hold exhibits in the compound and an eclectic mix of workshops from painting, pottery, paper-making to performance arts. One can even see as far as the South China Sea on a cloudless day if one stands on the topmost part of the village. There are a number of old Igorot huts within the village from Ifugao (the rice terraces that Neil and I visited a few months earlier) and Kalinga which will allow you to see how the homes of the mountain people really look like.


Next we were off to Camp John Hay, an area developed in the early 1900’s by the United States Armed Forces as a r&r place for their troops. Now it's a large recreation area open to the public. We headed to another nice little cafe that served chocolate. After a long, fun but exhausting day, we jumped back on the bus to Manila.
