HomeAsiaPhilippinesLuzonBenguet3 Days Baguio & La Trinidad Itinerary – DIY Solo Tips & Guide By Marcos Detourist on October 22, 2011This is the do-it-yourself (DIY) itinerary I took during a 3-day trip to Baguio City and La Trinidad, Benguet.The bus ride from Vigan to Baguio consumed most of the first day. Slept for two nights in a hostel dorm room in Baguio.Spent the second day touring around Baguio’s popular tourist spots. Wanted to cover the basics since it was my first time to re-visit Baguio.On my third day, I reserved the afternoon for a short side trip to the Strawberry Fields of La Trinidad, Benguet. Upon returning to Baguio, I took a late afternoon bus back to Manila.
