Wright Park and The Mansion
About
Two Baguio classics in one stop! Wright Park is the long, pine-lined Pool of Pines, a narrow reflecting pool that leads to the pony rides on the hill above, where kids and grown-ups saddle up for a slow loop under the trees. Cross the road and you're at The Mansion, the president's summer residence, with its famous iron gates. Since 2024 the house itself is open as a free presidential museum. Come early for the soft morning light on the pool, then walk the gardens before the tour buses roll in!
Dry until sunset (5:33 PM). Good time to go!
