Tam-Awan Village

If you are going to Baguio, do not forget to include Tam-Awan Village in your itinerary, it is a place where you can have a glimpse of Cordillera village life and commune with nature. The village has seven Ifugao huts ( Anaba Hut, Bangaan Hut, Batad Hut, Dukligan Hut, Kinakin Hut, and Nagor Hut)and two Kalinga houses (Lukkong Hut and Bugnay Hut). The Ifugao huts are very simple, it has no nails and hardware but it can lasts for many generations.

We do not know how to get there we just ask for directions. There is no signage or guide so sometimes we feel that we’re lost but we just kept on asking for directions, so we’re happy when we reached Tam-Awan Village, we’re not lost. Teee-hee!
Entrance fee: P50 adults, P30 senior citizens and students, P20 kids below 12yrs old
Opening and Closing Hours: 8AM-6PM
Going to each hut is not easy; you have to go up and down and pathway is narrow.



Tam-awan village has café, craft shop and art gallery. There are also artists who can do caricatures, minimum of P100 per head and minimum of P300 per couple. Tam-Awan village is also a venue for workshops and art exhibits. You can also stay in Anaba hut, Love Bug hut, Duklingan Hut, and Lukkong Hut for a minimal fee. I would love to try that on my next trip.







Just in front of Tam-Awan village is the Arko ni Apo, where you can find wood works and metal works of Benhur and Boom Villanueva.

    This is a must place to visit but not on a rainy days coz you'll end up not enjoying the palce walking at the middle of muddy ,winding ,up and down narrow road.sira ang beauty at poise ng mga girls.

    What I love about traveling is the thrill of searching for a place you don't know then have to ask people for directions. Most of my travels are not planned, I usually ask for directions. One time, I also had to look for the place by my own because there's no person to ask. Anyway, would love to see this village, I missed this in my recent trip although I am aware about it.

    this is the first feature I've read of this place in Baguio.

    I'll have to try this next time, then maybe I can write a how to get there info.

    It would surely help this village
