Life gets noisy. The city is always moving, and days pass in a blur. But just a short ride from Baguio, in La Trinidad, Benguet, there’s a quiet escape—Mt. Yangbew. Sitting across the famous strawberry farm, this mountain is the perfect place to take a break and breathe.
The hike is easy. The air gets cooler as you walk, and the scent of pine fills the breeze. Birds sing from the trees, and with each step, the world below feels smaller. When you reach the top, all you see is open sky and rolling hills.
Standing there, you take it all in. The town looks peaceful beneath you. The sun rises, painting everything in golden light. No traffic, no deadlines—just calmness all around.
Then comes the best part. A local guide brings a horse, its coat shining under the sun. You climb on and feel the steady rhythm of its steps. The wind brushes your face, carrying the scent of wildflowers. It feels like freedom, a quiet adventure of your own.
Mt. Yangbew doesn’t ask anything from you. It doesn’t rush you. It simply lets you pause, breathe, and see the world from above. And sometimes, that’s all you need.
