We at Visit Sagada believe that to truly enjoy your stay in Sagada, your trip should have a good balance between adventurous spontaneity and a rough idea of what to do formulated through research (in your case: reading this website 
) During the early months of this site, most of the people were happy with figuring out things for themselves, but more and more now, visitors seem to be more open to the idea of having somebody else do an itinerary for them. To accomodate those who are probably scared of venturing into the deep end during their first time up there, we have come up with this easy-to-follow guide on how to plan your activities.
Resource: How To Tour Sagada
HOW MANY DAYS?
This should be the first question that you should answer before planning the rest of your activities in Sagada. Keep in mind that a round figure like three days will not translate as three days in actual waking hours. Here’s why:
If you were to take the Manila-Baguio-Sagada bus route, the earliest time you could arrive in Sagada would be 12 NOON because the first bus leaves the station at around 5:30 AM. Keep in mind that this will only be feasible if you can leave Manila the night before. This means that your first day isn’t really a full day – you lose a significant chunk of potential tour time to travel. Once you factor in the things you have to do after checking in (lunch, unpacking etc.), it’s likely that you will only have three to four hours of sunshine left to do whatever you want to do.
Keep in mind that you are also coming off a very taxing half-day journey on bus through the rough and winding roads of the Cordillera mountains. Some people (like myself) may prefer resting during Day 1 and just focus on the touring the next day.
If you can muster the strength to do some touring for the afternoon, you may try any of the following by going to the town hall and inquiring at the tourism desk:
- The “sightseeing” package is a medley of three points of interest that are reachable within a few minutes hike of each other. You may choose three places to go to and the tour will probably take 3-4 hours depending on when where you choose to go. Echo Valley is probably among the most popular of these sites. It’s fairly easy to go to and it will surely be a hit for younger travelers.
- Go to the caves! Sagada is famous for its cave system so no one should ever leave the town before checking out Sumaguing cave. It’s a twenty minute walk from the town center it’s a fairly easy hike up the road. You will also see nice views of the Sagada Rice Terraces and traditional village houses called dap-ays along the way. The normal spelunking route takes 2-3 hours to finish.
- After a day of traveling, most people would probably want to relax. If you’re with me in that regard then I strongly suggest that you visit Bokong Falls (also known as Small Falls). The falls is situated next to rice paddies and though it doesn’t really dazzle you with the way it looks, it sure makes up for it with sheer adrenaline potential. You can jump off the falls’ highest point into a cold deep natural pool below.
There’s nothing like a nice cold dip that could rejuvenate your road-weary body, right?
LESSON #1: DAY ONE HAS A VERY TIGHT TIME WINDOW. DON’T EXPECT TO DO A LOT OF THINGS DURING THIS DAY.
PRIORITIES
In my opinion, visitors should prioritize two points of interest while in Sagada – the Bomod-ok Falls (Big Falls) and the Sumaguing-Lumiang cave system. Both would require a considerable amount of time and energy to get to so it will be wise to reserve a day for each site. I’ve heard of people doing both in a single day but those people were hardly comparable to your average human being (haha). To be on the safe side, stick to one for one day.
- Bomod-ok Falls / Big Falls – There are two routes to the falls – one’s a bit easy (a leisurely 90 minute hike along paved bridges) while the other one is a 2-3 hours traverse of rice terraces that would have you balancing for your life! You might want to rent a van for this since the barangay that has jurisdiction of the falls is already at the outskirts of Sagada. The water is quite cold and deep. The rocks and boulder near the falls are also slippery. Be extra careful.
- Cave Connection – Again, the caves are around 20 minutes away from the town. The traverse from one mouth of the cave to the other would take 3-6 hours depending on the skill level of the spelunker. This would require scaling cave formations, a bit of rope climbing, rapelling, crawling and even a little bit of swimming. You will get wet!
These two activities will require one day each with the afternoons reserved for walking around town, meditation, buying souvenirs or getting a massage. I really think that an important part of a trip to Sagada is to feel its natural serenity that lulls you into sitting back and just relaxing. Sagada isn’t all about extreme eco-adventures. It’s also about communing with nature and the alien landscape of the Cordilleras that urbanites can’t fathom at first.
LESSON #2: Realistically speaking, you need 4 days in Sagada. But once you think about it, four days in Sagada is more like three days. The first day doesn’t start until 12 NN. The last day can only last until 1PM (the time the last bus for Baguio leaves).
So to make it simpler for you guys:
Day -1
10PM Leave Manila For Baguio
Day 1
4AM Arrive in Baguio
530 AM Leave for Sagada
12NN ETA Sagada
2 PM – Sightseeing/ Caving/ Falls
Day 2
AM – Kiltepan for sunrise
Cave Connection
Day 3
Big Falls
Day 4
Leave for Baguio

i like your very insightful blog. i am planning to go to sagada on feb2009. is it advisable for us to bring our own van or is it better to commute? and how much do we need to budget for fare and accommodations? can you suggest any nice place we can stay in? thanks so much!
Comment by pat — November 4, 2008 @ 4:43 pm
The suggested itinerary to make things simpler is a great help for us who haven’t been to Sagada before. We are planning to go after the middle of this month (Nov. 2008). There shouldn’t be any problem getting a guided tour when we get to Sagada, correct? Your help is much appreciated.
Comment by Tita T. Tan — November 4, 2008 @ 8:15 pm
Hi Pat, we always recommend to commute. Budget P1500.00 for transportation, you can take either Baguio or Bontoc route, they have almost the same travel time and cost. For accommodation, RESIDENTIAL LODGE is VISITSAGADA’s choice. Contact Tita Mary Daoas at 09296257419.
Comment by Angel — November 4, 2008 @ 11:15 pm
Hi Tita, getting a guided tour in Sagada shouldn’t be a problem. SEGA and SAGGA have a pool of guides ready to assist tourists, and they have a standard rates for the tours.
Comment by Angel — November 4, 2008 @ 11:19 pm
Hi there. Plan to stay there come Nov21-23. For the “sightseeing” attractions, will you recommend getting a guide, or will it still be equally exciting if we are to explore around by ourselves, armed with only a map and a cam? What will be the advantage/ disadvantage of having a guide? Thanks in advance.
Comment by Juvy — November 7, 2008 @ 5:46 pm
please leave your real email address
here’s my reply:
I admire your gusto and sense of adventure but of course, safety has
to come first. I have yet to see a very detailed map of Sagada – the
most detailed one I’ve seen is the one we have on the site. Aside from
ECHO VALLEY which is just behind the town cemetery, I think all the
other spots should be visited with a guide if you’re going there for
the first time. Getting lost could be fun but I don’t recommend it.

Hi! Thank you so much for taking time in putting up this site and answering all the queries. They are all very helpful! My friends and i are going to Sagada on Dec 12-15. Leaving Manila on the 12th. We are planning to take the Manila- Banaue-Bontoc-Sagada Route.
Question 1: do you advise to stay overnight in Banaue?
Question 2: of we are coming from Banaue, what time do we have to leave Banaue to get to Sagada if we are not staying the night there?
Thank you so much in advance for your help.
Thank you so much.

Hi! We’re going to Sagada and we’re planning to take Manila-Bontoc-Sagada route thru Cable Tours. Is it safe? Also we’d like to take the Banaue route on our way back to Manila to probably do a day tour. How much is bus/jeep from Sagada-Banaue? Thanks.
Comment by Charmaine — November 12, 2008 @ 4:38 pm
Hi, we’re planning to go to sagada on the 3rd week of dec. is it possible to do the bomod-ok falls and sumaguing cave both on a same day? or should we need 1 whole day for each activity? thanks

Can we do the Bomod-ok Falls and Sumaguing Cave both on a same day? Or do we need one whole day for each activity? Thanks

This site is awesome. I finally decided to go to Sagada this Friday ALONE. I just want to celebrate my Birthday away from the hustles of Manila and from the people around me. This would be my first time, thus im very excited. Is it okay to travel alone to Sagada? Theres no question about safety. My concern is on my itenirary. Im planning to hire a guide for the siteseeing tour. Is 400 still the tour guide fee? Whom can I contact for this? What is the last trip for Victory Liner bus from Baguio to Manila? I would truly appreciate your feedback. Thanks.
Comment by Paul — December 1, 2008 @ 4:12 pm
Hi me and a friend of mine is planning to go to sagada before end of this month but is it possible to go on a tour without a guide there? so we can feel more adventure or is it really required to have a tour guide?
Comment by Joseph — January 20, 2009 @ 7:03 am
hi.. it seems everyone has someone to go to sagada with their friends or family.. does it sound stupid to go to sagada alone? i just need to travel alone, some kind of soul searching. is it okay? or it would really be better to visit with friends?
Comment by heather — January 23, 2009 @ 10:46 pm
We’re planning to go to Sagada this February via the Bontoc route. We want to see and climb(?) the Banaue Rice Terraces. So we are thinking of doing that and then going to Sagada without staying overnight in Banaue, since we’d be arriving in Banaue very early in the morning anyway. Do you think that’s feasible?
Comment by David — January 25, 2009 @ 10:36 am

Hi! My colleagues and I are plannig to go to Sagada on May 17 til the 20th. I’ve been there like 5 yrs ago.Will May be an OK month to go there? (My sister-who had been travelling there for quite sometime- said that May will be too rainy)How much budget do you suggest for us to bring for transpo, accomodation, tour and food? Many thanks and God bless!
Comment by Tess — February 3, 2009 @ 11:51 pm
Hi. This has been asked several times. The answer isn’t posted though, thus here goes the question again: how much would a three-day visit to Sagada cost, including transportation (I’ll be coming from Manila), a two-night accomodation, and the tour guide fees? I’m also planning to travel alone. And, yes, the typical I-need-to-find-myself-type thing. =) How safe is this?
Thanks,
Len

Hi! my friends and I are planning to go out of town this summer and we are considering going to sagada. I appreciate the information you’ve provided in this site. I realize that you don’t post the cost of visiting Sagada, so umn, it would be really helpful if you could email me how much a 4day, 3-night stay might cost, including payment for guides and stuff, even just a ballpark figure will help. Thank you very, very, very much!!!!!!!!

Hi! I’m planning to go to sagada this May. I want to bring a car but i don’t know where I can leave it. Where is the advisable place to leave the car and take the jeep to sagada? Is a one whole day enough to tour around sagada?
Comment by sha — February 24, 2009 @ 12:15 pm
Sha, try looking for parking space in Baguio. You take a bus from Baguio (the trip’s 6 hours).
You can also leave it in Bontoc. But then again, Sagada’s only 45 minutes away – you might as well drive all the way.
Nope, one day isn’t enough. 3D/2N is optimal.
Comment by Benj — February 24, 2009 @ 1:28 pm
Hi! we are going to sagada this thursday night. I’m quite confused on what route to take and how many hours will it take from Banaue to Sagada? And is there any bus that will be leaving from Sagada-Manila on a day trip? thanks
Comment by Anna — February 25, 2009 @ 1:10 am
Anna,
Banaue to Sagada is about 3 hrs.
I did not understand the 2nd question, but here’s you have to know:
There are no direct bus services from Sagada to Manila and vice versa.
Buses leave Sagada for Baguio at 5AM til 1PM every hour.
Comment by Benj — February 25, 2009 @ 3:40 am
Hi,
Have read most of what is on this site. You have put whatever is needed for the whole trip to Sagada. My friend and I are planning to go there sometime next month. Thanks for the info. We are now waiting for Tita Mary of Residential Lodge to confirm if they can accommodate us. Since its Holy Week we are keeping our fingers cross that there will be a free room for us.
Comment by Kathy — March 4, 2009 @ 8:19 pm
Thanks for putting up this site – i’m so excited to be in Sagada- we are planning to go there next month.
Is it possible to bring a 3 year old kid with us? I guess that will limit the places where we can go – but will it be drastically be a lot?

We’re planning to go to Sagada this April 2009. We plan to leave at night then begin our tour the following day. We will stay for 3 days(excluding of course the night we will travel) but we plan to leave around 10am on the 3rd day. We are bringing our own cars via the banaue route since we plan to see the banaue rice terraces, too. What do you think? Can we do the caving and big falls in day 2? Can the Residential Lodge accomodate big groups? We’re around 16-18 pax. How about George’s Guesthouse? Thanks!

Comment by ShaPine — April 1, 2009 @ 1:22 pm
Hi.. I’ve heard of the Autobus that leaves Manila at 10pm and you can be in Banaue at 7am. In Sagada at 10am. Is this true?
Also, can you give some tips for me if we go there during Holy Week? I don’t really have a choice because that’s the only time I’m free. Will we run out of a place to stay? We’re just 2 people. And I expect peak rates during this time so what could be the expected budget if we only stay for 2 nights?
Thanks a lot!

Comment by joysi — April 23, 2009 @ 1:51 pm
joysi–none.
unless you catch the saturday night buffet dinner at the log cabin, it’s lights out at 8-9pm in Sagada. 
Well, you can always look at the stars! (honestly, the view is spectacular!)
Comment by jools — April 24, 2009 @ 4:20 pm
hi! planning to go to sagada 2 weeks from now. wondering if you’d mind checking out our itinerary to see if it’s feasible. just a few questions: is it recommended to get a guide to see the hanging coffins and underground river or can we explore those on our own? are there stories we can get from the guides or can we read up on most of everything? how about the small falls? can we just venture out there on our own? safe? can we find our own way to kiltepan? how long would the trek take, so that we could make it in time for sunrise? here’s the plan:
D0 10pm depart mla-bagui-sagada
D1 12nn arrive Sagada
2pm finish checking in, lunch
Echo Valley, Underground River, Hangin’ Coffins
7pm dinner at St. Joseph’s or Alfred’s Cabin
D2 AM Kiltepan for sunrise
Lumiang-Sumaguing Cave Connection, packed lunch
PM Small Falls/Mt. Ampacao & Lake Danum for sunset
D3 AM Big Falls (van via Bang-an)
PM explore the town
D4 6am depart Sagada-Baguio-Mla
8pm arrive Mla
How does it sound?
Thanks! I found you site not only helpful but very inspiring. Can’t wait to get out there and see it all for myself.

Is there any rough roads that we will encounter during the trip? We were planning the route of Manila-Banaue-Sagada-Baguio-Manila route.

thanks!

Hi Benj,
Like the others who asked before me… I wanna know if you also recommend traveling alone? If so, kindly give me an advise about do’s and dont’s when going to Sagada alone. I am planning to go there this november (and it’s more of self-discovery quest) though I also intend to hire tour guides for Echo Valley and Caving plans.
Thank you c”,)

Hi Benj,
Like the others who asked before me… I also want to know if it’s ok to travel alone and is it something that you will also recommend? If so, kindly advise me of the do’s and dont’s as I am planning to go there alone sometime in November or early part of December (which is more like a quest for self-discovery) and I do intend to stay at Residential Lodge with Echo Valley and Cave Connection as part of my itinerary (will definitely hire tour guides for those activities).
Thank you (“,)

hello. im planning to have a roadtrip to sagada this january as a birthday adventure for myself, together with 2 of my friends. we want to do it in a very strict budget of 4000 or less per person for about 4d/3n. part of the experience im looking forward to is that we’re going to use a very special car going there, a volkswagen beetle. since we would be in a very tight budget by choice, we wanted to spend some of the nights camping out instead of spending money on lodging. question is, are there places where we could assemble a tent and set camp for the night in sagada? thanks in advance, im really looking forward to this trip.

is kiltepan near mt. ampacao? is it possible to put those two together in the itinerary?
is it possible to include the sunset tour (pottery show) in the first day(sightseeing tour) itinerary?
are the sunrise and sunset tours worth it?
how long does it take to get to the marlboro country? what can be seen there?

Hi Benj, great site. Planning to go to Sagada this April with my family. Can you recommend a good place to park our car in Baguio while we are exploring Sagada for 3 days? Thanks in advance.

Hello there! One of my goals this summer is to have a spontaneous trips outside the city of manila, seeing this site makes Sagada very appealing. I’m not really very concerned on having a blockbuster experience in Sagada (having all the tours and whatnot), I just really want to experience being somewhere far away from my normal life (I’m a freshman in college). Planning on doing this alone though, do you think you can give me a minimum budget to bring? I know the question is vague, but from those who’ve traveled from Manila to Sagada, how much would you usually spend?

Hi!
we’re on a very tight schedule (1 week for the whole philippine trip) but we really wanna go to Sagada.
Will you help me with an itinerary?
We’d like to go trek, mountain climb and see caves..
there’s a lot of places to see (all of which you suggested) but, i doubt that we’re gonna have enough time cuz, as much as i wanna spend the whole week there, i still have to see family and friends in other places.
i’m allotting 3 days including travel time.
I haven’t deciding whether we should take the bus or rent a vehicle.
Please advise!!
Thanks!!
