The seminars will be held at the Baguio Country Club, and pre-registration is required.

Last Chance To Hike Before The Rains Come

Several hike tours are still available for the month of June and most of them bring you to Mt. Ulap. These include the Mt. Ulap Eco Trail Day Hike on June 8, organized by Al Tiera Travel and Tours. Another one worth checking is the Mt. Ulap Eco Trail Hike and Outreach Adventure, from June 8 to 9. This will not only give you that natural high of conquering Mt. Ulap, but also another kind of high for helping out kids in Ampucao Elementary School.  On June 12, another day hike is available for those interested in Mt. Ulap as well as the famed Cafe in the Sky in Sto. Tomas.
