Cordillera Region

The Cordillera Region is one of the sixteen regions of the Philippines. It is located in the north of the country on the island of Luzon, and is the country's only landlocked region. The region is centered around the Luzon Cordillera, and is bordered by the Ilocos Region to the west, and the Cagayan Region to the east.

The region contains six provinces; Apayao, Abra, Kalinga, Mountain Province, Ifugao, and Benguet. Its capital and largest city is Baguio.

Geography
The Cordillera Region is almost completely mountainous, with only a few low-lying areas or plains. The region consists of most of the Luzon Cordillera, which stretches north to south along the north west of Luzon. The region has the lowest population density in the country due to its numerous mountains, and most of the population is concentrated in the few valleys and plains.

More than a third of the region's population lives in the province Benguet, home to the regional capital of Baguio.

Transport
The region has numerous roads and highways spanning over the mountains. The main ones are the Baguio-Tuguegarao Highway and the Bontoc-Bayombong Highway. The region only has one airport in Baguio.

Due to the region's rough terrain, there are many steep and meandering roads, and many roads are built on cliffsides, which are prone to landslides in the wet season.
