🌬️ Conquering the Sando Challenge in Baguio + A Market Adventure!

By Jonathan Orbuda @ilovetansyong
 Baguio City is famous for its chilly mornings, and we decided to experience it head-on with the daring Sando Challenge! Staying just a 5-minute walk from Burnham Park, we headed out at 5:00 AM in nothing but sleeveless shirts, braving the brisk 15°C air. The short walk felt like an ice-cold adventure as the wind nipped at our skin. As we reached the park, the misty morning greeted us with joggers, bikers, and fellow early risers. Despite the cold, the serene beauty of Burnham Park at dawn was worth it—it was both a test of endurance and an exhilarating start to the day!

After conquering the challenge (and wrapping ourselves in jackets!), we set out for the lively Baguio City Market. Just a quick ride from Burnham, this market is a treasure trove of fresh and affordable produce. Rows of vibrant vegetables and fruits greeted us: from the sweetest strawberries to crunchy bell peppers and crisp lettuce. I couldn’t resist grabbing bundles of Sagada oranges and freshly harvested broccoli. The prices? Unbelievably low! Whether you’re stocking up for a feast or looking for pasalubong, the market has everything you need at a bargain.

The fun didn’t end there. As we explored, we stumbled upon stalls brimming with quirky souvenirs and oversized knitted bonnets. I couldn’t resist trying on a hat that made me look like a snowman! The vendors, ever so friendly, joined in on the laughter, making the shopping experience all the more memorable. These lighthearted moments reminded me why Baguio remains a favorite destination—the warmth of the people perfectly balances the cool weather.

Baguio City offers the perfect mix of adventure, fun, and local culture. Whether it’s taking on a crazy challenge like the Sando Challenge, wandering through the bustling market, or enjoying spontaneous laughter with strangers, every moment is unforgettable.
