About
Tam-awan Village (a local word meaning "vantage point") is a reconstructed Cordillera village on a forested hillside in northwestern Baguio. It was established in 1998 by National Artist BenCab together with the Chanum Foundation to promote local Baguio artists, and is built around a collection of authentic Ifugao and Kalinga huts — nine knockdown huts, seven Ifugao from Bangaan and two from Kalinga, some over a hundred years old, including the octagonal Luccong (binayon) hut for aristocrats. Beyond the huts, the village holds art galleries with permanent and rotating exhibits by Baguio artists, a cafe serving Cordillera flavors, and a souvenir shop, while resident artists are on hand to sketch your portrait. Weekends bring cultural dance shows where young Igorots perform with gangsa, and you can join workshops in drawing, wood and bamboo carving, weaving, and rice-wine making. A footpath winds up through the hillside forest to view decks and a dreamcatcher — so wear good shoes, since the stairs and trails get steep and slippery. Groups can even book a bonfire evening or stay overnight in one of the huts.
