Mines View Park
A cliffside viewpoint overlooking the old Benguet gold and silver mines and layered mountain ridges, with souvenir stalls all around.
The viewpoint sits on a ridge east of town, overlooking the former gold, silver and copper mining area and the Itogon Valley. On clear days you can see the distant Cordillera mountains. Visitors can pose with a local St. Bernard or dress in Igorot traditional attire for photos, though a tip is expected. The entrance area is a lively market for souvenirs and local specialties, where you can buy ube (purple yam) jam, woven goods and wood carvings. The nearby Good Shepherd Convent makes an easy side trip, but weekends bring crowds and traffic jams.
