Sagada is not just a place where broken hearts go. It is also for those who want to be one with nature and experience a different kind of thrill. I have to admit that Sagada was not really in my travel bucket list. Just thinking of the long travel hours and physical strain we have to go through frazzles me already. It was Cancio who convinced me and boy was I thankful.
Our squad visited the so-called "Shangri-la of the North" last November 20-22, 2015. We availed a 3D2N tour package from Sagada Tours Philippines for Php 3, 199.00 each. It already included our accommodation and round trip van transfer.
Sagada is really a traveler's delight. I'll let the pictures do the talking. ;)
Day 1

First stop: Banaue Rice Terraces Viewpoint.
The Banaue Rice Terraces, dubbed as the "Eight Wonder of the World," are over 2,000 years old and are built by the Ifugaos using their bare hands.
Still alive and kicking after 13 hours of travel time.
There was a setback on our room accommodations, though. We reserved 2 standard rooms in Sagada Bilza Lodge and 1 hut in Heritage Village; but on the day of the trip, we found out the hut is no longer available because some seniors extended their stay. They just upgraded us to 2 family rooms. Sigh.
