CAPTIVATING ATOK IN BENGUET || THE NEXT DESTINATION IN NORTHERN LUZON

#Atok #Benguet #Northern Blossoms #Mt. Timbak

Atok, officially the Municipality of Atok, is a 4th class municipality in the province of Benguet, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 19,668 people. 

Atok is located at 16°34′00″N 120°42′00″E, situated at the central portion of Benguet. It is bounded by Kibungan on the north, Kabayan on the north-east, Bokod on the southeast, Tublay on the south-west, and Kapangan on the west.

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the municipality has a land area of 214.99 square kilometres (83.01 sq mi) constituting 7.76% of the 2,769.08-square-kilometre- (1,069.15 sq mi) total area of Benguet.

The land is characterized as mountainous with many steep cliffs. It is home to Mt. Timbak, the third highest mountain in Luzon. The second highest point in the Philippine Highway System is also located at Barangay Paoay along Halsema Highway, at 2,255 metres (7,400 ft) above sea level.[9][12] It held formerly the title as the highest point in the Philippine Highway System since World War II until early 2019. This is after the validation and assessment conducted by the Department of Public Works and Highways - Cordillera Administrative Region (DPWH-CAR) Regional Office last January 2019 declaring a new highest point at 2,428.66 meters (7968.045 feet) along the Kiangan-Tinoc-Buguias Road in Tinoc Town some 55 Kilometers east via Atok, Benguet.

Like most part of Benguet it has subtropical highland climate, during the cold months of the year, the municipality experiences very low temperatures reaching 9 degrees Celsius (48 degrees Fahrenheit). This causes frost to settle on the ground, causing millions of damage to crops, but drawing tourists to the town.

Atok is 48 kilometres (30 mi) from Baguio City.
