Sagada - famous for its spelunking cave connections (Lumiang-Sumaguing Caves) & Hanging Coffins, is located in Mt. Province, Philippines. It was where our first travel adventure begun. We fell inlove with the place, we left our footprints & brought with us the memories collected in the green and slopy land once visited with my travel buddies (my boyfriend and my 2 siblings). We had so much fun and made us say "yes to new adventures".
WHERE TO GO?
1. SPELUNKING CAVE CONNECTIONS - It takes around 2hours to finish the caving. LUMIANG CAVE (BURIAL CAVE) is the entry point and exit at SUMAGUING CAVE. You will enjoy the dark side of nature being lighten up by "lamparas" and flashlights, experience a bath at a cold underground river, the rock formations inside the caves ( I assure you will laugh once you encountered the "King" and the "Queen" (rock formations) behind the caves "Curtain"(another rock formation), the stalagmites and stalactites, the fossils, bats and some other more a cave can offer. Tour guide required.

2. HIKING - Let the bored feet hike to see the famous "HANGING COFFINS". Have a stop and take pictures at the "ECHO VALLEY". Shout your joy and sadness, the cold air sends the message, nature listens and reply. You will see some other caves not opened for public, cross an underground river and step to some big white minerals around, see SAGADA's COFFEE PLANTATION,pick some edible wild berries in the forest, and even climb a PERSIMON tree.

3. FALLS - we decided to roam around by feet like a local. We don't know where to go and we were surprised to see foreign tourists around and decided to just follow their path with their tour guide. (Naki tour guide na din kami. Haha) Unfortunately, they stopped at a buffet restau, and so we just decided to go on with the journey. Suddenly, a girl (going home from school) approached, offered us her service and made her our tour guide. She led us at BOKONG FALLS, a small shallow natural swimming pool in the area. We gave that girl an amount though she didn't asked for it.
