The Beauty of STOBOSA: The Valley of Colors

in hive-144064 •  9 days ago 

STOBOSA, also known as the Valley of Colors, is a famous attraction in La Trinidad, Benguet, Philippines. The name STOBOSA comes from the three sitios (small communities) in the area: Stonehill, Botiwtiw, and Sadjap.

Before, the houses on the hillside looked plain and ordinary. But in 2016, the Department of Tourism, local artists, and the community worked together to paint around 200 houses with bright, colorful murals. Inspired by the painted favelas (hillside communities) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this project aimed to make the area more beautiful and lively.

The paintings mostly show sunflowers and other plants that grow in the region, symbolizing hope and positivity. The project brought residents together, making them proud of their community. Today, the Valley of Colors is a popular tourist spot where visitors take photos and admire the artistic houses.

This transformation is a great example of how art and teamwork can turn a simple place into something amazing!

Hi @cassyjanine,

The images look amazing!

https://steematlas.com/ is an amazing project initiated by pennsif. It has a collection of Steemit posts, which are especially focused on specific places all around the world. It already has over 40,000 posts, and now you can add your posts to the world map as well.

I think you have traveled, and visited many places in your country. So, I invited you to take a look at this new project and help to locate good places in the Philippines!

The addition of this post to the map is not that hard. I have created A Comprehensive Guide to Steem Atlas. You just have to copy the code as mentioned in my post and paste in this post.

If you have previous travel-related posts, I invite you to add them to the map. You can still earn from your previous posts as well. I have mentioned that in my posts too.

Send me a message if you have any problems!

Thank you!

That's a wonderful and colorful village! I have seen them somewhere in the internet but your photos made the houses very vibrant! I hope they are all safe especially when earthquakes come
