La Trinidad Benguet has a lot of tourist
spot and one of the most famous tourist spot there is the Strawberry Farm. The
Strawberry Farm is located in Betag, La Trinidad; actually it is not that far
from Baguio city. When we go there, we took a ride on a jeepney just look for
the jeepney that has the signboard La Trinidad, Buyagan or Camp Dangwa. If you
don’t want too much hassle you can also hire for a taxi, however, the fare will
be expensive.
After almost 26 minutes, we reached the
crossing of strawberry farm that is located in the last gate of Benguet State
University. If you don’t know the last gate of BSU, you can just ask the
drivers and they will tell it you. From the crossing we walked for almost 3
minutes until we reached the main part of the Strawberry Farm so I recommend
that you must always bring water with you to avoid dehydration.
The very first thing that we saw there was a
really big farm wherein people are planting several kinds of plants like
lettuce, cabbage, onion leeks and of course strawberries. We saw the farmers
taking care of their plants which mean that is their main source of living.
On
the other side of the road there are rows of stores that sell souvenirs like
t-shirts, key chains and many more. They are also selling delicacies like
strawberry jam, strawberry candy, strawberry wine and other products that are
100% Filipino made.
We also see paintings in one place there. Those paintings are for sale and they were made by Igorot artists. The main themes of the paintings are about nature, farm, and cultures of Cordilleras.
If you also want to stay there for at least one night to just feel the coldness of La Trinidad you can stay in a hotel which is new, the Strawberry Valley Hotel and Restaurant.
We
also tasted the most famous ice cream in La Trinidad the strawberry ice cream.
The taste is good and you can smell the aroma of strawberry while eating it.
Although the price is more expensive you can say “it’s worth it”.
nice!
