“Sagad” Sagada Getaway

Posted last May 6th, 2009 on Friendster blog

Now I know what a mountain province is really like. We had a great spelunking adventure at the Cave Connection and a long trek to Bomod-ok Falls. Hiking along the Fidelisan rice terraces was certainly an awesome trek!

I felt I was really meant to be a traveler. I really enjoyed this experience. Of course, the Echo Valley, the Underground River, the Hanging Coffins, the Bokong Falls, and similar sights were also remarkable. God is indeed marvelous!

Below is our itinerary, including the spontaneous activities we had in Sagada, where everything was a pleasant surprise!
