Angel Juarez came up with his own version of this list so I’m just going to compile my own ten. Do check out Angel Juarez’s link – he’s certainly one of the best travel bloggers in the Philippines and he’s fast becoming one of the most popular as well.
Here are the ten things you have to do when you’re in Sagada:
1. Complete the Lumiang-Sumaguing cave connection.
Most people haven’t gone caving and most people are NOT prepared for the physical requirement that this task entails. This makes it the perfect almost-once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to somehow push yourself to the limit and take some risks with your physical well-being. You’ll be surprised how many seemingly nonathletic people have managed to finish the course. Expect to get wet and use muscles that you’ve never used before.
2. Go to the Bomod-ok Falls (Big Falls)
The Big Falls is one of the largest waterfalls you’ll see in the Philippines and the trek to the valley that hides it is a great treat. You will be literally walking along the rice terraces and going through villages that don’t have access to a main road. It’s an easy enough hike if you can go walk for 60-90 minutes without huffing and puffing. Do not underestimate the sun – it may be cold in Sagada but the sun is still king around these parts. Always protect your skin with sunblock. The water temperature in the natural swimming pool is pretty close to ice cold. Reward yourself for walking under the sun with a quick dip before shivering all the way back to the top of the trail. (more…)

The weather in Sagada is so different from the rest of Luzon that it is actually possible to have orange orchards in some areas. One of the largest is the one around Rock Inn – easily one of the most remote but stunning hostels in town. The inn has its on drive way that takes visitors deep into a valley around 2 to 3 kilometers away from the town center. This is a perfect spot for people who want peace and quiet.
The inn also offers the unique experience of orange picking. For just 50 pesos entrance fee, you can enter the premises and get all the oranges you want. The oranges you get will be weighed and priced at a fairly reasonable 50 pesos per kilo once you step out of the premises.

The Sagada Genuine Guides Association or SaGGAs would be once again hosting a year end bonfire party on December 28. The guides hosted an awesome feast last year and I definitely have a lot of photos that would never be posted on Facebook from that night. As you can see on the poster, the cost of the ticket is 250 pesos – inclusive of transportation to the bonfire site, dinner, drinks and the entertainment (cultural presentation) for the night. Expect to dance around the fire til midnight!
This should be fun! Please contact 09295569533 or email sagadagenuineguides@gmail.com for any inquiries.

I was lucky enough to see Marlboro Country for the first time last August when I went on a trip with a few friends. Marlboro Country was named as such due to its very hilly terrain and the novelty of having wild horses in the valleys surrounding it. GMA 7′s Howie Severino even ran a story on the origin and fate that awaits these noble steeds.
Marlboro Country is a thirty minute hike from a drop off point in Lamangan. It’s a fairly easy walk and you would be definitely enamored with the tall trees that line the marked path to a central clearing. You’ll know that you’re at the end of the trail when the entire panorama opens up and just surprises you with a full 360 view of the mountains, hills and terraces nearby. It’s almost like being at a mountain summit.
It’s perfect for those who want to sit by the cliff and just reflect. It’s also a good place for photographers.
You can hire a guide from the tourism office for 600 pesos to take you to Marlboro Country. This is the rate if you’re traveling as a group of ten or less so you definitely make the most out of it with more people that you have on board. You can also rent a van for 450. Here’s the list of other rates: Sagada tours and rates
