I'm still here in the lovely country of the Philippines!
These panoramic view was taken at La Trinidad, Benguet by yours truly. According to the locals, this gigantic colorful mural was inspired by Favela Painting in Rio de Janeiro.

STOBOSA Valley of colors derived from the the three Villages namely: Stone hill, Botiwtiw and Sadyap of Barangay Balili, Bontoc Road, La Trinidad. And I believed the vibrant painted houses in the valley was the obvious description of Valley of Colors.๐๐
And before I go further, I would like to give the credits to my dear friend @meetmysuperego for taking really great photos of me. You learned my angle quickly, haha! Specially on the second photo, the stolen shot. Coz' the first one was mandatory, lol! By the way, she took it by my Samsung Note8.
The Valley of Colors is the newest tourist attraction here in Benguet, from Baguio City it will take 30 to 40 minutes to reach the place depending on traffic condition. You can ride taxi or Grab to take you there with 300.00 to 400.00 Php fare. There are also public Jeepney trips but if you're a tourist it will take more of your travel time but the bright side, you gonna save bunch of your money.
This place was actually listed on our 1st day itinerary coz' I wanna see it for real and up close, but turned out as our last destination due to weather conditon. ๐ญ๐คฃ Because it is so popular on a teleserye here in the Philippines, The Blood Sisters where the female lead star resides there and I don't want to missed it out. Haha!
Well, I am not a fan of teleserye, its really the place that I wanna see. ๐
I have been here in Benguet before, a long time ago and I just feel this one is a must place to visit.
And I wasn't wrong at all, to think that this huge art was the labor of love of the residents, the native artist and the Local Government to create such a scenic spot to be enjoyed by everyone specially for the tourist like us for free, plus the super friendly and helpful locals around. ๐ค๐ค
As we roam around the City of Baguio and the nearby town like La Trinidad and Tuba, I keep on wondering how they did they able to build such amazing houses and building in the Valley? How did they able to create those architectural structure on the top mountain, near the cliff and besides the river? Haha!
But anyways, it was a fulfilling experience to be in La Trinidad, Benguet...and I'll see you again! ๐ค๐
Thank you everyone for reading... My Tuba, Benguet adventure will be posted soon. ๐๐

Love the colourful co-ordination, I think it must be a very happy place to live
I think so too and I love the cold climate as well since its on the mountainous part of the country.
