It is completely surrounded by the province of Benguet in which the city used to be a town before it has been made into an independent city. The city is called “ The Summer Capital” or “The Always Cool City In The Mountains”. We drive around in the city and visit famous Burnham Park. Here we visit an orchid garden. We also bring a visit to a Tam-Awan village. This village with its Ifugao houses show you the culture of the tribes in the Cordillera Mountains.
