SAGADA - A Preview

I always wanted to go to Sagada. So, when the opportunity presented itself (thru an invitation from Benj), I readily grabbed it and off I go. Let me start this multi-post series with some photos of things and places that you will see and expect to be featured on this beautiful mountainous town.

In my four days of stay there (well, including almost a day for travel), I have gone trekking in Echo Valley and saw the hanging coffins, then hiked thru scenic Marlboro Country. I went caving and gone through water falls as well as wait for the sunrise in one of Sagada's highest point. And of course, the food trip in Sagada is not to be missed. So join me in this series as I share some of my most interesting and awesome experience in this tranquil mountaintop town.

  2. Look like a beautiful and interesting place to visit. The hanging coffins sound so mysterious and scary, need to be very brave to visit.
