Yet another Benguet gem, amongst its many peaks and plateaus, can be found in in Mt. Camisong Forest Park & Events, a 10-hectare property in Itogon that officially opened to the public in February 2025. Here, you’re invited to slow down and reconnect with nature in a quiet escape of hiking and walking trails, lush open gardens, flexible event spaces, and more.

While there are more than enough facilities and amenities for guests, most of the park remains in its natural state, with only a small part developed. One of the most loved spots in Mt. Camisong Forest Park & Events is the Alapaap View Deck, a cantilevered glass platform that gives you a clear, calming view of Benguet’s mountain ranges no matter the time of day. It’s the kind of place you can pause, whether for a few photos or simply to commune with Mother Nature.

The park also has other thoughtful spaces such as the Dagitab Amphitheater for small gatherings and performances, and the Kanlungan Hall for workshops or simple breaks. No doubt, Mt. Camisong was built with a clear intention: to give people a space to breathe. Whether you’re here for a simple escape from city noise or a more mindful retreat, the park offers room to reset. It’s a place that doesn’t rush you and reminds you that, sometimes, all you need is a little time outdoors.

Mt. Camisong Forest Park & Events is located in Sitio Peday, Brgy. Loacan, Itogon, Philippines. For inquiries, visit www.mtcamisong.com or call 0917 184 9461.
