| Hanging Coffins |
Sagada is famous for its "hanging coffins". This is a traditional way of burying people that is still utilized. Not anyone is qualified to be buried this way; one had to, among other things, be married and have grandchildren.
Popular activities include trekking, exploring both caves and waterfalls, spelunking, bonfires, picnics, rappelling, visiting historical sites, nature hikes, and participating in tribal celebrations. Guides can be found upon registration at the tourist-office in Sagada Proper (the main town) for a small fee.
Nature hiking, personally, is the most exciting part of my travel in Sagada especially going deep into the caves. You will see variety of shapes and familiar figures formed by the growing limestone, fossils (fishes and shells) and of course the famous but not the thing you would want to run into - bat droppings. ☺
