    If you are looking for a place that is really sorrounded by nature, this is a good place to visit. The entrance fee is 60php per person. But for older people it is not recommended because you will have to climb a lot of stairs. But it is very nice to be there and explore the Garden in the Sky. You can also see some traditional dance.

    Awesome experience. Enjoy the mini-hiking while exploring the whole village. For the management, I recommend having a few signs especially on the upper part of the map. It will allow the visitor to navigate easily. For the existing map around the area, you can also try to put "You are here" signs.

    Place is a bit dark as there were alot of trees. Highlight of the attraction would be the paintings made by i believe people living there. There was quite of it and if you love paintings and a little bit of trecking you will enjoy the place. You can also buy items there as there is a souvenir shop inside as well as home made kitchen food.

    If you're into nature tripping, this is the place for you to explore. Though, one has to be ready to take the challenge in climbing lots of stairs. Entrance fee is discounted for students and seniors and paid upon registration. There's a hut selling souvenirs, another hut if you want to have a sketch of yourself, another hut where you can have a tattoo. Lots of things to explore and do. But for seniors, take note to visit when its summer cause the stones and steps are slippery and not senior friendly. There's also a gallery featuring paintings of local talents.

    10/10 experience even if it was rainy. Loved the local art. The preservation of tradition, culture, and how people used to live back in the day. Also ate in the cafe. The food was soooo good. Kahit malamok. Lol

    I hope they should maintain this place especially the hiking part. It is slippery when we went there. On the top part there's only a bench. They should inovate and be more creative.

    Get to know the culture of the Cordillerans in this place. It's best to visit when there were performers dancing the tribal dances of Cordillera. If you have hiking energy, you can climb the top view and see the mountain top view of the place.

    Date of visit 2019 Dec 23. Time of visit 10.40 am to 12.50 pm. Sight Seeing 6.5. Transportation / Getting there 6. Ambience 8. Price PHP60/pax. Expected exploration time 1 to 2 hours. Sight Seeing: This is small sky jungle with a wishing well / pond, huts, dream catchers and hill top views. There is also a cafe inside. Great shots can be taken depending on your ingenuity with nature. The uphill climb has some slight risks, trek slowly and firmly on the muddy terrain, some rocks could be slippery and even dry terrain is dusty and flaky and is a slip hazard. Some parts of the trek do not have any railings to prevent an accidental downhill fall. Nevertheless, it is fairly simply uphill trek for elementary school kids with adequate caution. The only drawback is that this attraction is isolated, as compared to Camp John Hay or Mines View Park. Transportation: Transportation in Baguio for those without a private transport is either jeepney or taxi. The Jeepney begins the journey from Fairview Central Jeepney Terminal, Hilltop street. Then, it takes about 15 mins to reach Tam Awan Village. Ambience: The garden jungle provides just enough challenge for all ages. The air is fresh and clean as expected.

    Been here before and it was not exactly what I remembered. I remembered more art pieces back then. More sculptures and huts. Also don't bring a stroller here you won't be able to use it. It will just be an added weight. It's a hike going here so be ready.

    One of the best tourist spot in Baguio! The place is kinda far from the city but super worth it. Though it's not kid and senior friendly because the stairs are too steep. The place is still perfect if you want to learn about Ifugaos.

    Reconstruction of traditional huts and showcasing Baguio arts/history. Nice and short hike trail especially for young people to get them starting, or a couple looking for fun time out. Some stairs or walkways missing handrails though.

    Good place to unwind and reconnect with nature. I suggest wearing shoes if what want to be comfy because there will be a little bit of hiking to appreciate the whole place.

    Trail hiking was scary, but not only because of the height. The trail was not too well maintained. Loose steps and rickety handrails. Would be challenging for families with overactive "pasaway" kids who love to explore on their own.

    A small hiking adventure with great nature ambience. If you have visited igorot Stone Kingdom add this to your next stop. A small walk from igorot stone kingdom. You will be relaxed with the nature ambience. Very peaceful.

    It has great art collection. That was the most significant thing i found. I just wished that the houses were preserved. There were a lot of the house who are not as good and modernized. They could definitely improve it. History is also very essential.

  • 5/5 mrsl t. 1 year ago on Google
    Super worth it to visit. Especially if you appreciate art, satify your eyes with beautiful paintings by different artists. You can also find and connect to the culture of Ifugao through the artifacts found in Tam-awan like anito, fertility hut, hanging mirrors and rice guardian spirit.

    Be prepared to climb up a trail leading to the top for a nice view of nature. Wear your rubber shoes or any time of hiking boots for easier climb. I was wearing my flats and skirt and it was a bad idea, although manageable. You will appreciate the culture of the locals for example what their houses looked like during their time. They also have a small souvenir shop to buy a little memorabilia with you and a cafe inside.

    This is such an amazing place! I love how they preserved the trees in this area amidst the busy city life to where it was strategically located. Be prepared for it is cold inside because of the big trees surrounding it. There is also a café inside and some artists who sketches impromptu if you want your own. Tam-awan Village is open daily from 8AM to 6PM including holidays. General Admission is ₱60 only.

    The place is full of arts that depicts mostly cultural significance of the cordillerans. There is a resto and souvenir shop inside.

    Get to know the culture of cordillera first hand. They have authentic huts from Sagada & Kalinga and also have cultural activities that you get to enjoy while you eat and drink at their local cafe. This place also exhibits artworks form local artists and crafts which are very nice and affordable

  • 5/5 Phuong T. 2 months ago on Google • 32 reviews New
    Ticket price is 60₱/person. It’s cheap and great view. Having some activities like dancing local music and performances on special time. I have good day in Here

  • 5/5 Chris 2 months ago on Google • 14 reviews New
    It’s a good thing to see when visiting. It’s a nice trail for those who aren’t use to hiking. Just be cautious cause some of the trails are a little difficult. Great place to avoid the crowds (note I was here on a weekday) bring comfortable clothes for hiking.

  • 5/5 Pinescented's a story to tell (. 4 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    They have a variety of activities for tourists may it be painting exibits, portrait drawing, cultural dances...etc. small pathways for viewing or early morning walk for transients in their native houses altbough limited thus whennone gets a chance try it out and feel the different ambiance of waking up on a cozy igorot kubo. Brewed coffee and a variety of cordilleran dishes served breakfast lunch and dinner.

  • 5/5 j. l. (. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing views at the very top view deck, you can even see the new Igorot Stone Kingdom nearby. Can be quite challenging to climb some high steps throughout for the children and elderly, and some steps were slippery, but it's the closest to nature you can be without doing actual hiking. The cool air is also a plus.

  • 5/5 Krister R. 2 years ago on Google
    This village is a blend of Arts and Baguio's Nature. Located at Pinsao Proper Baguio City, art and nature loving indivoduals will surely enjoy this new tourist spot in the City. Nearby tourist spot are the Igurot Stone Kingdom and the famouse Baguio Strawberry Farm

  • 2/5 Janice A. 1 year ago on Google
    When I first visited this place 10 years ago, there were lots of artworks to see. It really showcase what it was like for the indigenous igorots to live during their time. That's why I decided to take my kid this time around. I was disappointed. Very few artworks. The hike turned slippery and dangerous because of the drizzle we were experiencing that day. So we didn't do the full hike. We had to turn back and leave. It was a waste of entrance fee because we didn't see much. Also, there were people in costume if you want to take pictures with them for an additional fee. We tried to get in one of the huts to explore but there are 2 men (the one in costume) that was sleeping inside. So we felt like we were intruding. But this is supposed to be huts on display. I feel like they shouldn't be in there sleeping.

  • 5/5 cynthia c. 1 year ago on Google
    Relaxing. Nature itself has its own healing effects on the mind and body. I enjoyed the cultural dance. As of March 7, 2023, entrance fee is P60 for adults. I forgot to ask for the children and PWD/senior.

    A soul energizer and art galery

  • 4/5 Ariel Cadahing (. 10 months ago on Google
    We arrived on a random Saturday and didn't need to wait at all to enter. Tickets were relatively cheap at 60 pesos each. However, to fully enjoy the experience, be prepared for a steep hike up the mountain. The most dangerous part of the hike had no rails to hold on to, and there were no clear guides pointing the way. Additionally, bring an umbrella as rain will keep you on the trail and will have you working slower through the path. As a sidenote, the way up was infinitely more enjoyable than the way (slide) down. Overall, if you are energetic, physically prepared, and dressed for the hike, go for it. Otherwise, I'd recommend going up the first few sets of stairs and promptly going down and eating some of the strawberry ice cream instead.

    One word I can say.. AMAZING. If only I can live on one of their huts, I will be contented forever in life. So peaceful and refreshing. I like buying all of those paintings and place it in my gallery room (if only I have a gallery room). So cool, really amazes me, and enchanting going up the wonderful hilly side as if going to heavens. 😊Best place I have been into

  • 2/5 R K. 10 months ago on Google
    I do not recommend the Folk Village. The staff do not greet tourists as if they are not motivated. A small art gallery in a bamboo forest. a place of no interest

  • 5/5 Jeny-Rose Y. 3 years ago on Google
    They’ve been open since August. It’s my second time after more than 10 years and it is still a beautiful place to appreciate nature and Ifugao culture. We hiked, entered the typical Igorot house, breathed fresh air, feasted in a rich flora & ended with a free taste of local wines — strawberry, duhat, rice wine, over some street food. Bought a woven head band in the souvenir shop.

  • 5/5 Arjun S. 3 years ago on Google
    An amazing place for nature and art. The place is on a mountain where you can hike to different places like a dream catcher hut, spiritual hut and 2 view decks.

  • 4/5 Angelo C. 4 years ago on Google
    Place is cool. Nice contrast of green and red which is relaxing in the eyes. A little hike, overlooking, overall... it's refreshing.

  • 5/5 Joie H. 5 years ago on Google
    So perfect when you need some me time... Walking through the paths and discovering branched ways along the way for me is the best feeling... I find it meditating and don't forget to walk through the area with mirrors! It takes about 2 hours if you are alone and wants to discover the place by yourself... Quite difficult to reach thru public transport due to limited jeepneys so taxi is better.

  • 4/5 teya b. 5 years ago on Google
    Nature and art in one place. Not very much accessible to public transport so its best to rent a private vehicle/cab/taxi to bring you to and from this place. Entrance fee is collected for maintenance and upkeep. Some areas may be slippery especially on wet season. Late review - visit date: May 2018

  • 4/5 Hilda A. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jayvee Chris C. 4 years ago on Google
    This place brings you closer to the arts and traditions of the indigeneous tribe of Benguet Mt. Province-- The Igorot tribe. A cultural dance is also something that you shouldn't miss!

  • 3/5 Armando L. 4 years ago on Google
    It was okay. View from the deck was not so good with mostly just roofs and houses. Parking is not very many. I liked the pond, the native houses. There is also a souveneir shop, an art gallery, a very short trail, and a view deck.

  • 5/5 Don A. 4 years ago on Google
    When you enter you pay a small fee. In my opinion it is so worth it. The fee helps with the up keep of the place. It's a small compound but feels like a big adventure inside. They feature small art galleries, restaurant and a viewing deck that's perfect for sunsets.

  • 4/5 Christine L. 4 years ago on Google
    There's a cute cat in here. The cat was sleeping and keeps on sleeping while we are there. They also got a cafe wherr you can buy coffee for an affordable price. We got an unexpected trekking there.

    Good place to go on a weekday where visitors are not that many. Tho on the weekend cordilleran cultural dance is presented. Honestly nothing much to see, it's basically a hillside decorated with cordilleran huts that are not that awing. Again what's good the see are the cultural dancers and the traditional cordilleran attire you can use for free that you won't look like a tourist. They also have a portrait artist who has excellent work.

    Great place to rest and clear your head. Tam Awan salad and pinikpikan in the cafe goes well with the breezy walk around the hillside museum

  • 5/5 Romalyn C. 4 years ago on Google
    It's a must-go for everyone visiting Baguio. Entrance is 60 PHP per person and you'll have a helpful guide to tell tales about the Ibaloi culture from their religion to daily living. The tour lasts around one hour and you'll be taken to art exhibits, old houses, and view points. You can buy arts and crafts stuff, which I think are reasonably priced considering they monopolize the area. Many souvenir stuff there are uniquely found in the place, so if you LOVE something, buy it! You can also buy paintings and have a sketching session. They also have a restaurant that serves delicious meals. We ordered Pinikpikan (surprisingly large enough for 4 to 5 people), Pomodoro Pasta, and a bottle of Strawberry Wine (which is fair priced at 250 PHP). As a side note: Pinikpikan is a dish using chicken meat that was repeatedly beaten to death, giving it a unique taste because of the blood clots. Besides chicken, it also has salted pork (Etag).
