Most (if not all) of the visitors to Sagada would brave the long drive or commute to experience the natural beauty of the town. Of course, most of these natural wonders would require walking and navigating through not-so-familiar hike trails and paths. Be a responsible and smart backpacker by researching about the sites that you want to visit. If that’s not possible, ask the other tourists and travelers that you encounter during your stay.
If you’re a first time traveler, you’re definitely going to benefit from having a tour guide that could give directions and pertinent information about the places you want to see.
To arrange a guided tour, make your way to the municipal hall near the intersection of Sagada’s three main roads. The tourism desk is to your left immediately upon entering the building. There, you would see the list of possible destinations and the standard rates for each. (more…)

The Visit Sagada Team has been doing the rounds for this summer’s blog events. We’re aware that even if we’re getting decent hits from backpackers and travelers, we’re still fairly unknown among bloggers. To increase our visibility off-line, we’ve produced limited edition Visit Sagada stickers similar to the site badge (designed by Angel Juarez) that we use on our personal sites. We’ve given away close to a hundred stickers and we intend to bring a bunch of them to give away to the establishments in Sagada for their guests and visitors.

Interestingly, Howie Severino returned to Sagada in April 2008 for his quest for the wild horses, and truly, the wild horses of Sagada are more than just a mountain legend.
In the peak called Lamagan of the grassy highland of Sitio Mabaat is a field tagged as “Marlboro Country”, where the only wild horses in the Philippines can be found. Stories say that wild horses run freely in this ground for almost three decades now. These horses were freed by residents of Antadao who could no longer take care of them a long time ago.

Four years ago, locals accounted their number to a dozen, but this time, Howie spotted only five. Their number reached to more than twenty a couple of years back, however local hunting is slowly making these horses extinct.
The wild horses of Sagada are among the best kept secrets of this town. They need protection or they will just become another legend.
