Northern Blossoms of Atok

 

A rising tourist destination near Baguio City. A Haven for fairy tale-like walking in field of flowers with scenic mountain in the background; travel for 2-3 hrs from baguio, we reached Atok, Benguet around 7am. There were few groups lining their turn to enter the flower farm. While waiting for your turn, you can look for different flowers, succulents and small plants to buy, just right outside the vicinity of the farm. 

As we enter the farm, there were succulents and flower cabbage in the front, never thought that the farm has big landscape area. I was thrilled at first while walking along different varieties of plants, but as we go farther, that's the time that you got to see what's more in there. It will be a bit tiring especially if you are not fond of long walks in an open sunlight area. Everywhere you look is astounding, instagrammable and perfect for content for your vlogs. And since Atok has good cold breeze, you can find flowers that you only see in other countries. You can enjoy having good pictures when approaching those caretakers for each area. They are trained to take photos, actually good photos for visitors. When you're about to finish exploring the farm. They had this resting area on the exit where they will serve free bread and unlimited benguet coffee. Not bad for paying 250 entrance fee. It was 10am when get out of the farm and the sun is at its peak. I suggest that you should get here as early as possible, though Atok has a good breeze of air, exploring the farm in the heat of the sun is not a good idea.

Benguet has always been the go-to destination for those who want some cool air. Baguio City is no longer the lone option to get there and enjoy what's up north. It was a good destination for those who want just a chill spot with a dreamy atmosphere. It is definitely good for big groups, solo traveler and family travels.
