Day 3 - Day 3: Forest Bathing & Wellness Tour

Wake up to another day to savor the cool mountain air and head over to the hotel restaurant for your complimentary breakfast. After your meal, proceed to the leafy Camp John Hay forest grounds for a unique activity called “forest bathing”, Japanese concept where participants go on a leisurely walk in a place surrounded by tall trees and lush greenery. The Japanese term is ‘shinrin-yoku, which means ‘taking in the forest atmosphere’. Aside from reducing the negative effects of a stressful lifestyle, it is said to have many health benefits that include an improved ability to focus, better sleep quality, and a more powerful immune system. Together with a tour guide, you’ll walk along an eco-trail starting from Le Monet Hotel, then proceed to go through 9 checkpoints on the 2 KM road on the pathway. Enjoy the pine trees, rugged terrain, and lush greenery on your trek while keeping your eyes open for art installations like towering stones, bamboo chimes, and energy rocks. After a refreshing walk through the woods, you’ll be served with a sumptuous lunch followed by an indulgent 2 and a half-hour traditional massage at a Wellness Spa Treatment facility in Camp John Hay, the perfect ending to a rejuvenating day surrounded by nature’s bounty.

Day 4 - Day 4: Plan your own day

You get to set your schedule today, so feel free to spend it however you wish.

Otherwise, you have the option to join another tour package to make the most of your stay in Baguio. Choose among a few well-curated day tours and sign-up for one that tickles your fancy as an add-on service. Join the Cultural and Heritage tour if you’re looking to visit time-tested Baguio attractions such as Wright Park, Mansion House, and the Baguio Botanical Garden.

If those two don’t interest you, you might want to join the Arts and Museum tour, where you will explore heritage sites, visit artist communities, and set foot on museums that showcase the Cordillera region’s rich indigenous cultural heritage.
