Strawberry Farm
Since we are already at Benguet, we visited the famous Strawberry Farm in La Trinidad. There is a wide, wide field of strawberry. It also has a very nice setting, quite amazing. We didnt picked up strawberry there but instead we just bought the ones that is already in a basket. For 55 per kilo. Not bad really. I have known lately that during peak season, the strawberry cost as high as 150+ per kilo. But of course you can pick up the strawberry if you wanted too. You just have to pay certain amount.
Buruwisan Falls at Mount Romelo
Buruwisan Falls is located at Mount Romelo. and is found in the part of the Sierra Madre Mountain Ranges that belong under the jurisdiction of the municipality of Siniloan. It is one of the five falls known to the local residents, the others being the Guiling Guiling Falls, Lanzones Falls, Binaytuan Falls and Sebakon Falls. Most of these falls, however, are unexplored. Buruwisan Falls is the most popular among these falls because it is the most accessible. Some local residents claim that there are still a number of "undiscovered" falls in the area aside from the five mentioned.
There are two possible mountain trails to the site, Puting Bato or Pulang Lupa, the latter is a shorter route. It tkes two hours of strenuous trekking over steep grassy hills, rocky streams and muddy river beds, and of wrestling against the overhanging branches of the wild vegetation that abounds in the area, to reach the site. But, the "discovery" of Buruwisan Falls makes the trip worthwhile.
Buruwisan Falls has a more or less 50 meter drop. The water is clear and cool. The area around Buruwisan Falls, being virtually unspoiled, is ideal for camping. As a matter of fact, different mountaineering groups from different schools have pinpointed this area as an excellent training ground for neophyte mountain climbers and thus, conduct fun climb in this site.
Across the Buriwisan Falls is the Lanzones Falls. The rivers of the Buruwisan and Lanzones Falls meet at a certain point and form a bigger fall which is the Binaytuan Falls. The Binaytuan Falls has a more or less 200 meter drop.
