Laguna:
, a short distance from Manila, is a province famous for hot sulphur springs. The 'Towns of
Baths', Pansol, Los Baņos and Cuyab are situated here. 250km (150 miles) north of Manila is Baguio, 1525m (5000ft) above sea
level, a cool haven from the summer heat. It is accessible both by air and land, though the drive up the zigzagging Kennon
Road is more popular as it offers spectacular views of the countryside. Baguio has a good variety of restaurants, mountain
views and walking excursions. Main attractions include The Mansion, summer residence of the Philippine president; Bell Church;
Baguio Cathedral; and the Crystal Caves, composed of crystalline metamorphic rocks and once an ancient burial site.
