Atok, Benguet 🏔️🌬️ How to get there: 🗺️ We brought our vehicle to Atok and used google map as our guide. Just input Atok Municipal Hall as your destination which is on your left side. Road is cemented but still exercise caution when driving along Halsema Highway. There were times we couldn't see the road due to fog. Travel time to Atok is approximately 2hrs from Baguio. Destinations: 🌻 Circuit 2 which includes 📎 Mt. Timbak 📎 Highest Point View Deck (previous highest point actually) 📎 Lourdes Grotto 📎 Sakura Park (we skipped this) 🌻 Northern Blossom Flower Farm Side Trips: 🎯 Good Taste Restaurant 🎯 La Trinidad Vegetable Trading Post 🎯 Good Shepherd Rates: 💰 20/pax - Atok environmental fee 💰 1800/1-5 pax - Circuit 2 tour inclusive of transportation and guide 💰 Any donation - Lourdes Grotto 💰 50/pax - Sakura Park entrance fee 💰 250/pax - Northern Blossom Flower Farm entrance fee inclusive of coffee and bread at the end of tour 💰 500/pax - accommodation including use of kitchen but if not going to use 400/pax Tips: 🔑 Bukod sa Circuit 2, may ino-offer dn clang Circuit 1 at Circuit 3. Tanong na lng kayo sa tourist information ng details. 🔑 Reserve your accommodation for sure slot. 3 kwarto at hinayaan nya kaming mamili. Pinahiram dn nya kami ng mga payong, umulan kc nung gabi. Common ang bathroom sa loob ng bahay pero may hot water. Sbi ni, meron ding common bathroom sa labas kaya lng ndi pa nakakabitan ng ilaw. 🔑 Bring bonnet, gloves, jacket, mask, pants. Napakalamig dito lalo na sa madaling araw. 🔑 Mt. Timbak summit is only 15-25 mins trek from the parking area. Madaming beses kaming huminto to catch our breath kahit pa short distance na lang. Hindi biro ang maglakad sa sobrang lamig na area at pataas. May stopover along the trail, sa bahay ni Ate. Pdeng mag-cr and she offers coffee for P25. Manage your expectations. Some may experience sea of clouds at the summit but in our case walang clearing. 🔑 Sa Highest Point View Deck may mga nagtitinda ng ref magnets (P35 ea) at stickers (P40 ea). Pde dn mag-cr dito. 🔑 Mass is held every 2nd Sunday sa Lourdes Grotto accdg to our guide. Dahil sa mga gumuhong bato noong lindol ng 1990, lumiit na ang sakop ng grotto. 🔑 Sarado ang NBFF tuwing Lunes. 🔑 Masarap ang bola-bola siopao (P40 ea) at hotcake (P12 ea) ng Marosan Restaurant. Eto ang stopover ng mga UV express. Walking distance sa accommodation at municipal hall. Dito kmi kumain. If may extra budget, I suggest to buy Kini-ing (P250), a smoked cured pork meat. This is similar to Etag of Sagada but for me, the former is more flavorful and less salty. 3 balot ang binili namin at ndi kami nagsisi. Talagang masarap. So far naisahog na namin sa chopsuey. #staycation ##awesomepic #naturalwonders #givethanks #campingglamping

I have been there 3 years ago for the first time and I had a blast. I enjoyed their food and the view. The mountains and the trees makes you feel like you are in the wild. 😜 When I went back there last month, there are some new paintings! I love the theme of the museum that time: mix of traditional and modern. I am not a big fan of sculptures but the ones over there made me think and rethink how I see things. 🤭 The atmosphere is cool and really diverse. 💪 It's foggy come 5pm but the view was still pretty good. The food was also delicious and cheaper compared to some resto. Their staff is just a little offish but I guess they are just tired. #museumescapade #urbanexplorer #cafe #givethanks #friendsdayout #girlstrip #girlsdayout #staycation

This museum has a lot to offer sand. Although, you might forget to take some pictures and just admire the beautiful work of art. There are sculptures, paintings, and other handcrafts that would totally blow your mind, and sometimes would leave a curious mind on what was going on inside the artist mind while making these pieces of art. Never did I visit any museum in my entire life but this place gave me an encouragement to visit other museums as well. #givethanks #pinoypride
