Just like plenty of the attractions in Sagada, Lake Danum is an easy walk away from the town center. Though it is realistically not as stunning as the other locations in town, it still is a very nice venue for picnics and it is often used as a jump off point in going up Mount Ampacao.

Mount Ampacao offers a majestic view of Sagada and surrounding townships. The vantage points offers a unique chance to catch an awe-inspiring view of the sun as it sets behind the mighty Cordilleras.

Given this predicament, here’s my buzzer-beating, not-a-dull-moment itinerary to make the most out your tight schedule:
