Chocolate de Batirol in Camp John Hay, Baguio City

Everytime that I visit Baguio, I always make it a point to drop by Chocolate de Batirol in Camp John Hay. Sometimes I even visit here more than once in a single visit to Baguio. I’m just a fan of their hot chocolate and their suman.

The Walk to Chocolate de Batirol

On our visit last February 2017, after our stroll around the Historical Core in Camp John Hay which includes the Bell Amphitheater, Bell House & Cemetery of Negativism, we decided to head to Chocolate de Batirol. It was only 1.4kms so we decided to just walk.

3:27 PM Started walking from Historical Core to Chocolate de Batirol.

We did not really follow the path Google Maps gave us since there was a walkway going down from the Historical Core to the main road of Camp John hay. One of my favorite parts of Camp John Hay since we passed by tall Pine Trees.

We then passed by the entrance of The Manor.

12 Reasons to stay at The Forest Lodge at Camp John Hay, Baguio City

When we were looking for hotels to stay in Baguio City, we wanted to be somewhere slightly away from the City Proper where there were lesser crowds and more trees. This decision might be influenced by the fact that I have been to Baguio around 25 years ago, when there were a lot less people in the city and the view from Mines View Park were purely forests and mountains without a house in sight. I wanted that feeling again and when I was checking out accommodations in Baguio I was looking at hotels in Camp John Hay where there are less concrete structure, more nature and less crowds, and we chose The Forest Lodge first.

I love the superbly spacious hotel lobby of @TheForestLodge. #Baguio #BaguioCity #Benguet #Philippines #CampJohnHay #TheForestLodge #Hotel #TravelPh
