This is probably the question that I get asked the most via e-mail. How many days should one spend in Sagada to make the trip worth it? Of course, the answer would differ from person to person who has been there, but if you were to ask me – me being a generally laid-back guy [...]
If you’ve done a decent amount of reading and research, you would know by now that there’s no way that you could go to Sagada on a day trip. The travel time from the other heavily traveled towns and cities (Banaue and Sagada) makes it virtually impossible to make much in 24 hours – the [...]
Since a lot of our readers are requesting for a sample itinerary, I thought of sharing mine. This is quite a compacted itinerary since I have no liberty of spending a much longer time there due to my busy work schedule. Nonetheless, I find the itinerary just perfect (for me). Day 1 2230H: Departure from [...]
It’s one of the things that I’m asked the most about Sagada. Most people who have been to the mountainous regions of Northern Philippines could attest that the temperature could get as cold as 20 degrees lower than the national average – about 8 to 9 degrees Celsius — but that’s only because they’ve been [...]
Another option for Manila based tourist bound to Sagada is to take the Manila-Banaue-Bontoc-Sagada route. The entire trip takes more or less twelve (12) hours.

While this mode of transportation is highly atypical of how most people would experience Sagada, taking your own car doesn’t really make much of a difference as far as comfort is concerned. [...]
This post is updated as of the first quarter of 2011. Bontoc is the capital of Mountain Province. It is about 12 hours from Manila and a mere 45 minutes from Sagada. Compared to Baguio, there are definitely less buses going to Bontoc. MANILA to BONTOC (12 hours) Cable Tours E. Rodriguez Q.C near the [...]
Sagada may be alien territory for most travelers but luckily, there are only three major roads traversing the town. These three intersect at the town proper. Virtually all hotels and restaurants and reachable through these roads. Full Size ( 1507 x 1151 pixels) This map was created by P.M. Stevens. I personally added the Residential [...]
Sagada is about 400 kilometers north of the Philippine capital of Manila. It is in the middle of the Luzon landmass and is nestled in a valley along the Cordillera Mountain Range. There are two major routes to Sagada – one on the western and more developed side via Baguio City and the other along [...]
