Bahong Sunflower Farm La Trinidad: Entrance Fees, Commute Guide, and Travel Tips

Planning a date or a photoshoot near Baguio? This ₱150 sunflower farm in La Trinidad is the perfect aesthetic backdrop!

If you are tired of the crowded pavements of Session Road or the long queues for strawberry picking, there is a quieter spot just 15 minutes away.

Located in Bahong, La Trinidad, the Bahong Sunflower Farm is currently open for those who want a break from the city heat without spending a fortune on petrol or entrance fees.

The farm is open every day from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, including holidays. Because this is an outdoor farm, the sun can get quite sharp by midday. It is best to arrive in the early morning or after 3:00 PM to get the best lighting for your photos and to avoid the heat.

Budgeting for your group is easy since the rates are kept at a flat rate:

• Regular: ₱150

• Senior/PWD: ₱120

• Kids aged 7–12 years old: ₱120

If you are travelling with a dog, the farm is pet-friendly. You just need to make sure you clean up after them and keep them under control. For those planning a photoshoot, such as a prenup, you should message their social media pages in advance to coordinate.

How to commute to Bahong Sunflower Farm from Baguio City

Navigating Benguet can be tricky if you are not used to the jeepney routes, but reaching the farm is quite manageable. If you are coming from Baguio City, head to the Rizal Park terminal near the City Hall or the Magsaysay Road terminal in front of Baguio Center Mall.

Board a jeepney bound for Camp Dangwa, Upper Tomay, Lower Tomay, Cruz, or Shilan. The fare is roughly ₱18.50. Tell the driver to drop you off at Alapang Junction. From there, walk a few metres along the sidewalk until you see a terminal for FX vehicles, which locals call a "Garage."

When you board the FX, tell the driver clearly that you are going to the Bahong Sunflower Farm. There is a subdivision nearby with a similar name, so being specific prevents you from ending up in a residential area. The ride takes about 10 minutes and costs between ₱20.00 and ₱40.00. The driver will drop you off right at the payment counter.

Transport tips for your return trip to Baguio

Getting back to Baguio requires a bit of planning because taxis are rare in this area. You could end up waiting for hours if you rely on luck. A practical tip is to ask for the FX driver’s mobile number when they drop you off so you can text them for a pickup.

Otherwise, you can wait outside the farm for a passing "Garage" vehicle to take you back to the Bahong junction. From the junction, any jeepney heading to Baguio City will take you back for ₱20.00.

Driving directions and parking at the sunflower farm

If you are bringing your own vehicle, there is dedicated parking space available. However, do not use Waze, as it can be unreliable in these mountain passes. Use Google Maps instead and set your route to pass through Camp Dangwa. Look out for the pink building, which is the Bahong Barangay Hall, as your main landmark.

The best time to see the flowers in full bloom is from February to early March. If you miss that window, a new batch of "baby" sunflowers is expected to bloom later in March. It is always a good idea to check their official Facebook page for bloom updates before you make the trip.

For Filipinos planning a weekend getaway, visiting this farm is an affordable way to see the beauty of La Trinidad beyond the usual strawberry fields. Just make sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring an umbrella for the walk from the junction.

What about you? Would you rather bring your whole family here for a weekend trip or is this the kind of place you would save for a date?
