On the outskirts of Baguio heading north towards La Trinidad and best reached by taxi from Baguio (about P50), TAM-AWAN VILLAGE is a replica Ifugao tribal villlage established by well-known Filipino artist Ben Cabrera, known as Bencab. If you want to spend the night in a tribal hut, this is your chance. You can stay in wooden huts on stilts and drink rice wine around a traditional Ifugao fire. Food is available from a small kitchen and work by local artists is on sale in the small shop. Staff often perform impromptu ceremonies and dances. There are six huts of varying shapes and sizes. One particular hut, built on stilts like all the rest, is a fertility hut. Carvings of men with impressive sex organs adorn the walls. Higher up on the hill are two large family huts. Tam-awan is hardly the height of luxury, but well worth an overnight stay for the experience. Small huts for two people are P550 a night. Family huts are P800. Toilets and showers are shared. Take a jacket because it can get surprisingly cold.
