Highlights of Itogon

Itogon borders Baguio to the east and southeast; Tuding and Virac are minutes from Pacdal along the Ambuklao Road, and the old mining barangays offer some of the lowest land prices near the city.

Closest barangays to Baguio

Tuding sits on the Ambuklao Road just past Baguio’s Pacdal and Mines View area, and Virac and Poblacion are a short drive further. Loacan in Itogon (not to be confused with Baguio’s Loakan) lies to the south.

Mining heritage

Itogon grew around the Benguet gold mines at Antamok, Acupan and Ucab. Housing in the mining barangays is dense and inexpensive; buyers should expect narrow access roads and check land classification carefully.

Dams and rivers

The Agno River runs through the municipality, feeding Binga Dam in Tinongdan; Ambuklao Dam sits just upstream on the Bokod boundary. Riverside barangays such as Dalupirip and Tinongdan are farming and fishing communities.
