    Overall great experience, you could go here for a picnic and a small hike and experience nature. The cafe at the top serves great tasting coffee and food. Some precaution: The road going to the drop point is very very steep. Its a bit dangerous in the rocky parts as seen in the photo.

    You'll really enjoy the beauty of nature here. The hike is neither long nor difficult, perfect for beginners. The rock formations are perfect for picture taking. Just avoid wearing shorts because you might get wounded by the sharp rocks. Also, make sure your shoes are not slippery. But all the effort will be worth it once you get to the top! Especially if the weather is pleasant.

    Beautiful outdoor experience with an amazing view of the mountains! Best to visit it during the weekday or off-peak season if you're looking for a peaceful time. They ask ₱100 for entrance fee but there are no facilities, not even lights in the evening. The café is pricy, most of the items on the menu were not available.

    Short (5 minutes) walk from the parking area by climbing up the metal stairs lead to the actual entrance. There you pay an entrance fee of 100 php per person. Place is open from 5.30 am to 6 pm. One may also stay overnight in a tent ⛺️ but that requires prior reservation. Turning left upon entrance leads to pine covered hill used for camping. Peaceful and relaxing place. Turning right upon entrance leads to the rest area, cafeteria and at the very end of this trail to the rocky hill - popular site where people take their Instagram photos. This place can be congested at times. From both hills there are great views of the surrounding landscape.

    Tired from the city bustle in Baguio but don't want to venture too far from it? Mt. Kalugong in La Trinidad will tuck you with peace and tranquil sound of nature. You can stay for a picnic here or you can opt to dine in their cafe, they also offer overnight stays.

    It was quite a refreshing place. You have to pay 5 PHP for the comfort room tho. There is also a cafe inside wherein you can go after or before you roam the place. It only took 15 minutes for us to climb the hike.

    I simply love this place!I remember the first time I visited this, it was because of the coffee shop which was trending before. This time I wanted to explore the cultural village as I saw fantastic pictures from the social media. It did not fail to amaze me with the towering rocks to where you can climb and have a panoramic view of thr beautiful La Trinidad valley. If you are visiting Baguio, dont forget to includr this in your sidetrip list. Best time is during the sunrise or sunset. Currently, there are two cafe's in the area or you may also bring your food (no corkage). This is perfect for team building activities and family gathering. They also offee accommodation that ranges from a cottage to a tent (you may also bring your tent).

    Great place to unwind and meditate while climbing the mountain and the rocks. Food is relatively ok but limited to cakes, beverage and 2 kinds of breakfast. View is awesome. However policies must be stricter to maintain cleanliness.

    Place is really quiet and peaceful, clean surroundings, fresh air, and perfect for having a family picnic. When you're going climbing on rocks, please be extra careful, there are no ropes or metal bars to cling and I do not recommend bringing children in there. Rocks are too sharp and there are deep openings underneath. Climb at your own risk.

    It was a pleasant small hike, the stairs going up is convenient enough, the trail without stair support is kind of slippery because of dried leaves and dry soil. The rock formation and the view is amazing. Good visits 👍

  • 5/5 Edia, J. 5 months ago on Google • 138 reviews
    This place deserves a spot in your iti going LaTri. Though you have to climb a good 10-15 mins to get there, you'll be awed by what the place can offer. The view, the serenity. Entrance is 100php, there are also cabins that can be rented for 1800php per night. The cafe at the top is already closed when we get there even if it's just 530pm. Also, I don't know if the 2 dogs are aggressive or just being territorial, there are two tourists that were chased and almost bitten by the two dogs when we went there, pretty sure aggressive sila kase nung dumaan kami pababa, kahol sila ng kahol and nag ggrowl sa mga nakasabay naming iba pababa.

    It's spacious and peaceful, and there is no public transportation going up here. It's a must to rent a motorcycle in Baguio to get here easily. Make sure you have experience driving on hills

  • 5/5 Ay-jae 4 months ago on Google • 31 reviews
    We took the opportunity to witness the town's light and the sunset; it was definitely worth going there. It was comforting to gaze at the lovely scenery. Entrance Fee: 100 per head

    Been there again after two years, and the feeling still lingers in my soul. Kind of therapeutic to sit on the rock formations while being mesmerized with the view of the La Trinidad valley. A café on top of the mountain is a plus as you sip a cup of coffee while embracing the cold breeze.

  • 5/5 Thaiuz A. 3 months ago on Google • 11 reviews New
    This place is very nice, you will enjoy the view and fresh air just few minutes from Baguio city and center of La Trinidad, Benguet. You can see the strawberry farm ang Benguet state university from the top of the mountain. There is also a small cafe here it will win your heart ♥ I highly recommend.

    A good place in Baguio. I had a relaxing time in here. I forgot my hat in the coffee shop but the staff was very kind. They brought it back for me in the next day. I will go back here in the future ❤️❤️❤️

    Mt. Kalugong Eco Park is situated in La Trinidad, Benguet. Overlooking the famous strawberry farm. To get there you must have a well-conditioned vehicle in order to climb the steep road going to the park. It’s very scenic and full of trees. They also have rock formations and a cafe there.

  • 4/5 Wither S. 2 years ago on Google
    Definitely, we'll be back here the soonest. A place for people looking for small adventure and serenity. Simply amazing. Just one catch, hoping the management will look into the dogs at the entrance. Keep them away from people. They attacked my kid, fortunately I was there just in time.

  • 5/5 Quilit N. 2 years ago on Google
    Its a good place where you can enjoy with your kids as it doesn't require you to hike for an hours but must be (very)extra careful because rocks are too sharp and there are deep openings underneath. If you can't be with your kids,better go alone. Your kids safety is the PRIORITY.

  • 5/5 Jonalyn L. 2 years ago on Google
    If you need to refresh, if you want to inhale some good air, just come in this place. I love trees, i like the swing.

  • 4/5 My S. 10 months ago on Google
    Very nice place. If you have done a lot of walking in hilly Baguio, the walk up the steep road should not be a problem. The views are beautiful and the food at the cafe is a bit pricey but quite nice. You can walk to the strawberry farms from here, it is about 1.5km away.

  • 5/5 Oli De G. 10 months ago on Google
    food was great, views were superb, very relaxing place you need to hike a bit from the road to reach the entrance of the cultural village, and about 15 minutes from there to get to the top of the mountain where the Mt. Kalugong coffee shop / restaurant is located

  • 4/5 Charesse L. 1 year ago on Google
    Went to Mt. Kalugong Cultural Village to have our friends' prenup photoshoot. There's a 5-minute hike going up to the area. Fresh air and sunlight greeted us when we got there. They have a cafe situated at the top of the mountain which serves good food and great coffee and a view of the strawberry farm. Have your legs ready for a lot of hikes up the mountain but worth it because of the view and rock formations waiting on top. Very nice experience indeed.

    If it's not for the rain, everything should have been perfect..., but all in all I had a great time despite the heavy rain.. I enjoyed the site and the food at Kape-an was good.

  • 5/5 Jessa M. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a great place to have forest bathing!! Food at Kape-an is so tasty. Fare is Php14.00 per person via jeep. If you opt to take taxi, it will be around 300+ Entrance fee: Php100/pax

  • 5/5 Joex V. 2 years ago on Google
    A quick getaway from the busy hustle and bustle of the city. It's very relaxing here, we don't want to leave 😅 food and drinks are sold in the store and cafe for those who didn't pack a picnic basket ❤️

  • 4/5 Oliver Jr L. 2 years ago on Google
    Heads up, if you are not the type of person who's not ready for some muddy situation it's better to make a plan especially when you want to visit during the rainy season. The time the place is wet, checking the weather updates may help like when would the mud will dry or try to visit during sunny days or summer season. And please be more responsible for your trash. Hoping next visit may zipline sana, appreciate the dog napakaamo.

    We went there about 5 pm hoping to witness the sunset however, it became foggy.. and that made this experience exciting. :) You will have a second thought at first when you see where you are going to start but take risks. It will not be easy but it will be worth it.
