Colors of StoBoSa

The Colors of StoBoSa is a large hillside community art installation in Barangay Balili, La Trinidad, Benguet, along Halsema Highway near Baguio City. The name combines Stonehill, Botiwtiw and Sadjap, three sitios whose houses were painted in vibrant colors. Launched in 2016 as a Department of Tourism project inspired by Brazil's favelas, it features a prominent sunflower design and has become a popular roadside viewpoint and photo stop for visitors traveling between Baguio and northern Benguet.

Visitors can expect a roadside viewpoint overlooking a steep hillside densely covered with houses painted in bright, multicolored patterns forming a large mural with sunflower motifs. The site is viewed from across the highway and does not require entering the residential area. The setting is along a busy mountain highway with a designated viewing area for sightseeing and photography, surrounded by the highland landscape of La Trinidad valley.

Launched in 2016 as a project of the Department of Tourism - Cordillera Administrative Region in partnership with the La Trinidad local government, Department of Public Works and Highways, and volunteer artists including the Tam-awan Village group. Around 500 houses in Sitios Stonehill, Botiwtiw and Sadjap were painted by residents and volunteers to transform the community into a tourist attraction and promote community pride.

Represents a community-based tourism and public art initiative that showcases local cooperation and creativity. The colorful hillside has become an iconic landmark of La Trinidad and Benguet, symbolizing community unity and serving as a recognizable gateway image for visitors entering the province from Baguio.
