Mount Costa

[gdlr_heading tag=”h3″ size=”32px” font_weight=”bold” icon=”fa fa-history”]History[/gdlr_heading]

During 1978, Col. Voltaire Acosta and wife Cleotilde Acosta bought eight hectares of land in La Trinidad, Benguet. Their family were one of the pioneers in making strawberry wine and preserves for the city. But, unfortunately during the early 90’s a plant virus plagued which caused the market of strawberry products to crash. It was during this time that the family stopped to grow strawberries.

Full of optimism Voltaire and Cleotilde hoped that their children would use the land to make a contribution in the development of the country and the Cordilleras. But, most importantly a way to make an impact among themselves.

During a small family gathering sometime in the year 2015. Generations of the Acosta Family arrived at the decision to develop the land to a unique tourist destination that will become a game-changer in the Eco-tourism scene of the Cordilleras.

From a land previously filled with strawberries will rise Mount Costa. The first unique stroll around garden of the north.

The design is a color journey playing with organic lines and contrasting textures. Swirling pathways converge onto the center of the space. Planted flowers emphasize the shape of each curved bed. A sleek pathway slices into the heart of the space, taking you over the flowers and right into the garden’s center.

A strong garden motive that stands out comfortably in its surroundings. The progression of the winding path has a natural feel. Controlled yet apparently random, the curves are never uncomfortable.
