Mines View Park is one of the most popular tourist attraction in Baguio. Like what I told you, I’ve been to Baguio back when I was six or seven years old and that was Circa 1980’s. The photo below is that of me and my nanay.
I can still remember before, you can see a panoramic view of Benguet’s gold and copper mines and the surrounding mountains from the observation deck. And there were young igorots, catching coins down below the rocky incline.
Today, much more than Benguet’s gold and copper mines {If it’s still there}, you can see many houses surrounding the area.
The mountains are still there and you can rent a binocular for P10 per 15 minutes to check them out.
At the entrance of Mines View Park, there are many stalls selling souvenirs, native handicrafts and Baguio delicacies like the popular {and my mother’s favorite} Romana Peanut Brittle and Chocolate-Covered Corn Flakes. Streetfood are also abound, this is where I got a taste of Baguio’s famous Strawberry Taho.
Baguio is also known for wooden products such as the “barrel-man”, ash trays with the male genital {LOL} and chopping boards. I bought one of those chopping boards for p120.
You can also have a photo session with a cute St. Bernard dog. $ shots for P50. There are lots of them there. Don’t go with the first one you see.
