We had a very busy time on our third and final day in Baguio. Meng and I had our breakfast in Angelita’s Canteen and lunch in Ilonggo Restaurant.
While waiting for the arrival of Eime, we took the time to stroll around Burnham Park and play at the kid's playground.
We then revisited the Pink Cathedral before going to the Tam-awan Village which is about twenty minutes away from downtown Baguio. The Tam-awan Village is a residential community for Baguio-based artists. According to their official website, the village was conceptualized to serve as a cultural space with strategically planned landscaping that provided a semblance to traditional Cordillera villages whilst adapting to Baguio terrain. Likewise, it was was envisioned to provide a venue for art and cultural activities.
It has a number of traditional Ifugao huts, art galleries, a coffee shop and craft store. The entrance fee to the village is 20php for adults and 10php for children. We had a fun/hard time balancing the giant rainmaker.
Our next destination was the Lourdes Grotto which sits atop a high hill. It is a shrine and popular pilgrimage site among Mary’s devotees. The grotto is located on Mirador Hill in the western part of Baguio. Inside it is a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes.
