High-Flying Fun at Tree Top Adventure Baguio

Have you ever stepped outside your cozy home and ventured into the forest to experience nature and to take in its beauty? Many would say that they have already taken a walk through the forest or have done mountain hiking. Imagine, however, if you could witness nature from a different perspective - that instead of walking through the woods looking up at trees, you look down on them and cross through getting a bird's eye view of the forest.

The Manor at Camp John Hay: The Ultimate Getaway in the Mountains of Cordillera

Despite the constant laments of Baguio being highly commercialized nowadays, there is no denying that the city is still a favorite destination for a lot of Juans. And when we just want to escape and have a great time with family and friends, we tend to seek out destinations that bring peace, comfort, and warmth. The Manor, nestled in a tranquil setting at 5,000 feet above sea level, surrounded by trees and beautiful views, fits the bill and is the ultimate getaway in this regard.

We stayed there in August and here's what it was like. 
  
Location
The Manor is set within Camp John Hay. It has one of the best-rated locations in the city as the area has kept and maintained the beauty of the Baguio of old. Although situated within one of the most popular visitor attractions in the city, The Manor remains a quiet place. This is because the hotel sits on top of a hill surrounded by lush gardens and a serene pine forest.
