| OUR TALE: We've decided to include Sagada in the Treks Page because we want to share to readers another great adventure we had before we made up the group. It happened last Holy Week of Year 2001 - THE GREAT SAGADA-BAGUIO-VIGAN VACATION. In terms of climbing, we did some in Sagada particularly climbing the Big Falls and Sgada caves. The adventures were just for fun but somehow, this trigerred our LOVE FOR CLIMBING. For us, SAGADA is a very good and peaceful place to go to. Sagada homes very nice and friendly natives. We got to talk to a lot of them as we stroll the roads. We wouldn't forget the very cheap but delicious halu-halo we bought from the side street. For only P10 each glass, we got to enjoy the refreshing halu-halo with 10 kinds of ingredients. All in all, SAGADA is a highly recommended place for tourist. Try going there yourselves!

A place known for its rice terraces, hanging coffins and a milieu of other breathtaking sceneries , SAGADA offers an ideal haven to its inhabitants and a taste of "Shangri-la" to intrepid enough visitors. TRAVEL NOTES/TIPS: The most common way to get to Sagada is by land. So if you don't have your private vehicle, taking the bus is the only way to go.
