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.
