Sagada!

I've been wanting to go to Sagada for a while now but it's not exactly the easiest place to visit. It's about a 10-11 hour drive from Manila and once there, you need to get involved in a lot of physical activities like trekking and spelunking. My family normally stays in Manila during Holy Week. However, my mom saw that Tripinas was offering a Sagada tour that would leave Manila on Wednesday night and return on Saturday night and we felt that this was a good opportunity for us to see one of the best places in the country without having to take any days off.

Some highlights of our Tripinas tour were a trek across the Banga-an rice terraces,


a visit to the Bomod-ok Falls,


spelunking in the Sumaging Cave,


a nature hike in Echo Valley...


...to see the Hanging Coffins,


and a trip to the Banaue Rice Terraces!


I will be sharing details of my amazing trip over the next few blog posts, but suffice it to say that despite the extremely long and uncomfortable drive, this trip to Sagada (with a very quick side trip to Banaue) was definitely worth it.
