A quiet town that is fast becoming a popular tourist destination in Northern Luzon for its sceneries of rolling mountains and verdant pine forest, as well as its cold climate, culture-rich community, and roads to riveting escapades.

Points of Interest:

1.Sumaguing and Lumiang Caves

Sumaguing or the “Big Cave” has the largest and deepest chambers of all the caves found in Sagada. It houses interesting rock formations and an underground river, reminiscent of this region’s underwater plight millions of years ago. On the other hand, the Lumiang is a smaller cave that is most sacred to the locals since it served as the final resting place of their ancestors hundreds of years ago. These two caves can be explored separately or through a cave connection tour.

2.Echo Valley

Surrounded with verdant mountains made of enormous limestone formations, Echo Valley derived its name from just that—the bouncing of sounds unto the walls of these rock formations. Offering a glimpse of the century-old hanging coffins hidden between rocks and pine forests, this outdoor haven is a stunning scenery of Sagada’s abundant nature and rich culture. A trek to the valley also unveils circuits to a 100-meter long cave and a subterranean river.
