Tips:
1. Do not forget to bring your jackets and caps in Baguio because it’s freaking cold out there.
2. Always bring your umbrellas especially in the afternoon.
3. Buy your tickets and do your reservations in advance to avoid delays especially when your going to travel on weekends or holidays.
4. Do not miss the Baguio Night Market! But always be sure to keeps your important things secure.
5. Always have your offline map and mark the places that you need to visit.
6. The vendors at La Trinidad are persuasive. It was never in my plan to buy anything at the farm, but due to their convincing powers, I bought fresh honey, three sagada oranges, pistachios at strawberry taho.
7. You can chose to travel earlier since the travel time to Baguio takes more than 6 hours (You can see the travel schedule for Victory Liner here)
