Sagada Mountain Province



It's been quite a while the last time I thought of posting these photos in my blog. I can't find the right time because I'm having problems with the server where I uploaded it. I wanted to share an adventure of a lifetime that took place in Sagada, Mountain Province. The place is so serene and people are so friendly! And you can enjoy the tranquility of nature. Unruffled from the stress of the metropolis.

It was one of the most unforgettable. You know why? I was praying fervently to get safely home. You really must have the guts to endure the long travel and not to mention the steep cliffs when you glance at your window. Visiting Sagada gets you connected with nature.






One of the attractions Sagada is famous for is it's caves. This limestone formation is in between the Lumiang and Sumaging caves connection. Shaped and curved by time, thus, exploring it will definitely get you wet. So you are encouraged to bring appropriate gear and suit to make the exploration more enjoyable.

Hiking inside the cold cave would be very challenging especially for neophytes. You get to perform different stunts because you climb vertically, horizontally and you crawl on small openings as you hop on steep walls. You can be barefooted if that makes you comfortable. But those Sandugo type slippers are best on this kind of trip.



Check this out. Only in Sagada that you can find this. It's what makes the place and the people so unique. A pile of coffins at the entrance of the cave. There were also hanging coffins. This is the traditional burial of Sagadians.


Local tourist guide are available and can be arranged at a reasonable amount. You can directly visit the municipal hall for registration so you can be guided on what places to visit and most specially where you can dine.




Friends, I'm not yet done with these. I still have some photos to post. I just can't finish them now. See yah!
