Its where we can find true serenity. One can rest and unwine from a stressful life or day...I find Sagada the so called Shangri La of the North truly a great and lovely place!


Sagada travelogue picture
Located in Mountain Province Phillipines. Sagada is one of the most beautiful places I've seen. Indeed its quiet and peaceful nature just draw me and let me stay in this place. I just love the environment and the people. Its a small town wherein the lovely people living here are considered one small family, I'm amazed that they are all related one way with the other.

A village gifted with beautiful nature and cool climate, Awesome indeed!

Favourite spots:

Sumaguing Cave, the most popular tourist spot, I consider it the 8th wonder of the world. The adventure inside is awesome although tis cool inside its worth it when you go out, indeed its natural beauty makes me say ah.....yes its really beautiful and amazing....thanx for the maker....







Bokong water falls, its a walking distance from the town. Located at Nangonogan wherein you can go swimming and let the cool water refresh you. One can pass the rice fields on the way going to the falls. Night swimming is good, try it sometime to feel the coolness of the night. Just be extra careful during the adventure, to have some guide beside you or a trusted buddy for safety reasons who knows ....just in case something happens!

What's really great:

The nature and the scenery and the loving small community.

Sights:
Sagada travelogue picture
Bokong falls or the small falls, try Bomod-ok falls or the big falls, it is far from the town and one would hike from a mountain before you arrive at the beautiful scene.

Accommodations:
rock inn
rock inn
I stay in my grandma house... though I recommend Rock Inn for solitude, within the town vicinity, there are many Inns like St. Joseph, Ganduyan, Guest House, Igorot Inn, Residential Lodge, Traveller's Inn....

Nightlife:

This very quiet place indeed has some hangouts, some good place like Rockey Valley at Nangonogan.. and Bamboo Grill near the Municipal hall, Alibama down at Daoangan, Treasure Rock at Makingking..



Enjoy the evening, just that Sagada has curfew at 9 pm so all establishments should be close, but for tourist I guess they are open.

Hangouts:

I just recommend Treasure Rock located at Makingking, its an open hangout sorrounded by pine trees!

Restaurants:

They have many restaurants like St. Joseph, Alfredos at the town proper,Yoghurt House & Banas down at Dagdag, Lemon Pie House farther at Makingking. Enjoy and happy eating!

Other recommendations:
echo valley w/ hanging coffins
echo valley w/ hanging coffins
Just after the St. Theodores Hospital then the Saint Mary's the Virgin Church located at the Poblacion, you just go up the mountain and their Echo Valley awaits you. You can shout at the top of you voice or sing and you could hear your echo back. Just be extra careful not to fall at the high steep. Try Danum for picnic grounds.

This is a good report which you could extend by editing. You might start by describing how one reaches echo valley. Well done.
