I Love Sagada '13


When you are in Sagada this adventure is a MUST!
My first spelunking :)))
 (April 26-30, 2013)
Adventure ba hanap nyo? Sagada and para sa inyo. 

2 months din in the making ang trip na to and finaly na tuloy din. We are 3 girls and we survive. :)) 
Bus trip palang dami na kagad nakilala, may mga groups and solo travelers. 

Cave connection and kiltepan peak ang di ko makalimtan dahil first time ko makapasok sa cave, grabe tong activity na to, nagrapel, lumusot sa butas, tumawid sa hanggang dibdib na tubig, nadulas, makakaita ng ibat ibang rock formations, makipag meet and greet sa mga bats and bats sh*ts. 

Makakita ng halos mahahawakan mo na na clouds sa Kiltepan peak. 

Kung pwede lang sana gawing pasalubong ang ulap at ang hangin ng sagada dito sa manila ginawa ko na. Sa wakas nakita ko na ang rice terecces in person, kung dati sa hekasi/sibika books at pictures ko lang yun nakikita. :))

Cable Tour ung bus na sinakyan namen para dalwa lang ang sakay. Manila-Bontoc Php 650. 12 hrs. vv.

Welcome to Mountain Province

Things to do in Sagada:

Day 1:
Spelunking Cave Connection - may ayaw lang akong ginawa dito, ung i-aakyat ang sarili, ang daming guide na tumolung sakin bago ako nakaakyat natatakot kasi ako. nung nakaakyat na ako nagsipag palakpakan silang lahat. =_=




 

 

Day 2:
Echo Valley



Bokong Falls (small falls)

 


The Church of St Mary The Virgin



Public Cemetery in Sagada



Lake Danum
If you want to experience the real escape in the city or after the tedious activity of spelunking, just go here in Lake Danum on the next day, you can look around, listen to the sound of the wind and birds chirping and watch for the sunset with your friends/love ones.




Day 3:
Kiltepan Peak
Hindi pa pinapalabas ang movie na "That thing called Tadhana" ni Angelica Panganiban and JM. Kilala na talaga ang Sagada sa mga "Where do broken hearts goes". Seeing this magical view who will not able to move on, and you will just realise "everything thats keeping you from moving on" ay ano daw??

Where to eat in Sagada?
We tried the most popular restaurant and food that Sagada can offer. 

Yoghurt House 
We literally tried the yogurt hehehe. Busog na kasi kami pag nakakadaan dito.


Plain lang tong inorder ko better if my fruits. Kung titikim lang kayo mag share nalang sa ganito kaliit. 
Pinikpikan House
Pinkpikan is a dish meal from the mountain. Eto ung binugbog muna ung manok (poor chicken) bago niluto, to improve the flavour after cooking. The secret ingridients of this is the "etag" smoked pork or tinapang baboy.

Kusina Ysagada

Lemon pie and a cup of Mountain milk tea for only Php50.00 :))

Accomodation: Sagada Home Stay Diner
We stayed at Sagada Home Stay - 09197028380. Php300 per night.

NB. Seriously nag "training" pa ako for 2 months para sa trip na to. Because first time ko magcaving, trekking na mga ganitong nature experience. Nag running, jogging and swimming ako that time para naman kondisyon ang katawan ko. :)

Update: revisited my post 3/28/2018 - i didn't know na more on pictures lang ang nandito and medjo spaghetti ang pag kwento ko. I made some changes and add context, kahit na limut ko na eksaktong pinag gagawa , I still remember how we survive this trip.
