To end the list of my out-of-town vacations this year, Me and a few friends went to visit Sagada up north in the Mountain Province.
A whooping 11-hour bus ride (6 hours from Manila to Baguio and 5 hours from Baguio to Sagada) to get there and experience the beauty of nature far (very far) away from the city and relax and enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime adventure. But don't worry about the travel duration, you'll pretty much enjoy the scenic view from the bus so you might wanna sit on the window side.
And how's the weather in Sagada? Amazing! If you're used to the hot weather in the cities of the Philippines, things are way different up there. Cold breeze, quiet streets, cold breeze (again?), and don't forget the view, sunflowers everywhere.
We stayed at Misty Lodge Hotel just 10-minutes from the town-proper. (Though according to my sports-tracker, it took us 20 minutes normal healthy-walk from the town proper to our hotel... but still we had a nice enjoyable moment walking there). It was a great place to stay. They have their own fireplace, nice interior, great food, and to sum it up, it's pretty much awesome!
We also took the different adventures Sagada has to offer. Cave connection, we did spelunking, rappeling, trekking, and a lot of walking. I did noticed that I lost some weight when I got back home. Anyway, it was really great to be there. We also went to some big falls and smaller falls, and the rice terraces, and the hanging coffins, and whew.. there are still a lot on the list... Better check it yourself.
When it comes to food, Sagada has a lot to offer. Aside from walking everyday, one of the many things we did there was to eat... a lot... And I really mean it. No need to worry on your budget because the prices are very reasonable and it's not very expensive.
Words really can't describe our experience in Sagada. It was such an enjoyable adventure. Riding on the top of the jeepney, took a ride on a motor bike at 11 pm to find some booze, 5-hour cave connection adventure, meeting new friends, trekking, and a lot more...
