Baguio, Mountain resort city in Cordillera, Philippines.
Baguio spreads across pine-covered hills at 1,540 meters elevation, with temperatures remaining cooler throughout the year than the lowland Philippine areas. The city serves as the main hub of the Cordillera Administrative Region in northern Luzon.
The United States colonial administration founded Baguio as a summer capital in 1900, developing infrastructure and government facilities in the mountain area. World War II brought destruction, followed by reconstruction efforts during the postwar decades.
The Panagbenga Festival fills the streets with flower-decorated floats and traditional dances of the Igorot communities. The event showcases the heritage of the indigenous mountain peoples of the Cordilleras.
Travelers reach the city through a road network connecting from Manila and passing through the Luzon countryside. Heavy fog can affect driving conditions on mountain roads, especially during early morning hours.
The Philippine Military Academy occupies a central location in the city and trains future officers on its expansive grounds. Visitors can view the outer areas of the campus, which is surrounded by public roads.
