Motorcycle ride destinations in Cordillera

The Cordillera is mountain riding at its most rewarding: pine-shaded roads, cool air, and climbs that wind through Benguet and beyond. Most riders use Baguio as the base. Kennon Road's twisty ascent tops out at the Lion's Head, a rite of passage for riders heading up. North of Baguio, the Halsema Highway climbs past Atok's flower farms to the highest point on the Philippine highway system. Long rides here are as much about the road as the destination.

The roads are twisty and often steep, with sharp switchbacks and weather that changes fast, so ride within your limits, keep your gear on, and give yourself extra daylight and a fuel buffer. Dahan-dahan lang sa pababa. The dry months from November to February give the clearest views and are also the coldest, so bring a proper jacket. Rainy months bring fog, slippery stretches and road closures, so check local advisories before you go. Pick a destination below, ride there, and collect the Cordillera stamp in your Waypoint Passport. The points you earn from riding go toward real riding gear in Rewards.
