Here’s the Sagada Super Post. Almost everything you know for planning your very own cost-efficient, organized and fun Do-It-Yourself Sagada getaway is here. If you don’t find it here, email us at team@visitsagada *dot* com
Again, Visit Sagada is NOT a travel agency nor are we affiliated with any travel agency. We strongly discourage you to travel with agencies as this, at least in our opinion, takes away from the totality of the experience.
Think of this post as a table of contents that would tie together almost all the entries that we have here.

Sagada.org is running a Twitter account that could be useful for people traveling to Sagada. I assume that the person/s running this account is/are in Sagada for the most part so they could probably address your concerns regarding weather and road conditions better than the rest of the Visit Sagada Team (all of us are based in Manila).

As you guys would’ve heard, Typhoon Pepeng (international name Parma) pummeled Northern Luzon for almost a week. The storm dumped over a meter of water in some areas and has triggered landslides and flooding all over the Ilocos regions, Cagayan, Isabela, Benguet, Pangasinan, Nueva Ecija, Ifugao, Mt. Province and Baguio City.
Halsema is now closed but payloaders are already on the site to fix the problem. Baguio is also isolated due to landslides along Kennon Road, Marcos Highway and Naguillian Road.
Expect these obstacles to clear in the coming days.

I was fortunate enough to go back to Sagada for an eighth time during the last week of August. I was in a group of five that included one of the Philippines’ top photography and travel bloggers Lawstude.
He is a well traveled lawyer who definitely has a passion for adventure. In fact, he was fresh from a hike to Imugan Falls two days before we left for Sagada – and yes, with fresh cuts and bruises to show for it!
He has recounted his Sagada experience in a very well-written series of articles coupled with breath taking images.

As much as I have kept myself from posting negative things on this blog, I just couldn’t let this particular incident go. I have been to Alfred’s Cabin multiple times already, but the service and the food was certainly not up to par the last time I ate there.
We were served a single chicken leg that was cut up into three sections – and that was what the 120 peso entree of Buttered Chicken was supposed to be. This was a far cry from the old buttered chicken dish that used to order at this very same restaurant a couple of years back. The pancit canton dish was also as bad – the noodles were ridiculously salty and had very little additions.
I was so embarrassed since I invited friends to join us. I would never eat there again unless major changes happen. If you happen to have bad experiences at Alfred’s Cabin, feel free to share it here.
