Fifty-six terraces cascading down a hillside a breathtaking sight. This is Terraza de Flores. A testament to a father’s love. Terraza de Flores isn’t just a garden. It’s a story etched in blooms.
Imagine a father Yuri Barrameda. He didn’t want to simply give his three children bouquets. He wanted something grand something lasting. He envisioned Terraza de Flores. Nine years later his dream bloomed. This botanical garden cafe opened in 2006. Nestled in the Malubog district it’s a hidden gem.
Terraza de Flores isn’t just any flower garden. It houses around 127 different plant species. Each terrace a meticulously crafted masterpiece. Local farmers built these terraces. They used interlocking stones to prevent soil erosion. Terraza de Flores is a collaborative effort. A testament to community spirit.
The three private cabanas each painted a different color. Blue pink and green. They represent Yuri’s children Andrea Carmela Cheska and Moses. Even the cafe features a painting of the children. It sits beside Chris Ogden’s “The Father’s Love”. The cafe is more than just a place to eat. It’s a celebration of family. It’s a vibrant reflection of Yuri’s love.
