Also known as the
Igorot Village, the Botanical Garden
in Baguio features native huts typical of the type of Igorot dwellings found in the Cordilleras. The village is said to capture the ethnic spirit and cultural legacy of the
Igorot and being tranquil and quiet, it is a nice place to just sit down and relax, take a leisurely stroll along its narrow and winding pathways and also enjoy the landscape where you will find numerous plants and trees.
BaguioBotanical Garden is named such because it is tasked with growing pine seedlings and other flora and fauna for the constant "greening" of
Baguio.
Some years back Igorot dances and rituals were held in an improvised outdoor stage within the village. Local students go to the
Baguio Botanical Garden for a day of retreat or just enjoy the outdoor environment. When visiting the
Botanical Garden in Baguio City, you will usually find a group of
Igorot at the main entrance who are dressed in their authentic native attire and regalia.
