Oohlalooh! Yes! Yes! Yes! You’d love Sagada for sure. Definitely worth the visit to see the hanging coffins and do some spelunking (prepare to get wet in there). Also, lodges aren’t that badly priced. Do holler if you’re going! I’m a total tag-along-twerp and would love to go back. Email: jordanarabejo@gmail.com
Thanks. Hope to be hearing from you soon! :)

if you only have 3 days, and that includes your time in Manila… then you can’t really enjoy Sagada :)

it’s at least 12 hours away from Manila and however route you take (via Benguet or Baguio), you’d have to do part of the commute on the daytime :) I’m just not sure if rented vans traverse the backroads at night (because they’re long, winding, prone to mini landslides and who knows what else) :)

But if you meant you can allot 3 days in sagada… yes you can enjoy it enough. Echo Valley with the Hanging coffins requires a max of 2 hours. Sumaging cave requires some 3-4 hours. You can just plan your itinerary well and consult the locals how you can maximize your time there…

here’s my blog post on my last visit there:

anybody would be at home in sagada. it’s a nice respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. if you have time, drop by batad. personally, i liked it better than sagada. it’s much less urban than sagada have become.
