Territory capital · Philippines
La Trinidad
Visit La Trinidad for a half‑day to a full day (strawberry farm, StoBoSa art, Bell Church) if you’re in Baguio; otherwise skip.
La Trinidad is the provincial capital of Benguet, just north of Baguio. It offers a strawberry farm, a large community mural, a Chinese Bell Church and organic‑farm tours. Most visitors stop for a few hours as a side‑trip from Baguio; a full day is enough to see the main sights and sample local produce.
