Visiting Sagada...

Sagada have been one of my dream destinations long before, I've seen countless pictures and I've heard a lot of stories about the place.

Being 12hours away from Manila... it's tiring and an exhausting trip! Masaket sa pwet,literally!

Me and my bestfriend kept telling each other during that bus ride...

SAGADA MUST BE WORTH IT!!!


The moment I saw the beautiful scenery of Mountain Province, I was completely blown away. Your eyes will just feast with all those mountains and greeneries all around you, it was surreal:)

taken inside the bus to Sagada, okay nahihilo-hilo na ko niyan, good thing nakatsamba pa ko ng maayos na shot:P

Before exploring Sagada, tourist would have to register at the municipal hall first. They usually suggest packaged tour for your trips and refer you to guides and accomodations:) a picture of the peaceful town of Sagada at 5am

beautiful children of Sagada

most of the people in Sagada are Anglican Protestant


hanging coffins, mas mataas daw mas malapit sa heaven. And guess what those spaces are free:P so kung gusto niyong magpareserve for your own coffin, go na...hehehe.


at the Echo Valley, anong sinigaw namin sa Echo Valley? secret:P

According to our tour guide Kuya Jeff, Sagada have a very intact culture which is very evident in the non-existence of commercial establishment in their area, even there have been plenty of offers and bids... preservation are of their main priority. Also the burial practices like hanging of coffins, weaving and organic farming shows how culturally preserved Sagada is.

Note: Sagada have zero crime rate:)


Being able to walk along those rice fields, feels like I'm walking in a dreamland, it felt so wonderful. Totoo...

Visiting Sagada to be continued...

Nikki-Tip: We always know that a picture paints a thousand words, besides just taking pictures ask people about history or stories (specially on trips) don't just take pictures you'll learn a lot and you'll have a deeper appreciation on these beautiful spots. Happy Snaps!:P
