Images Of Sagada

If you are planning to visit Sagada, here are some pictures you'll expect to see. And when you are planning to go there be sure to always have with you a jacket, especially, on the months of November to February. It is always cold there for people who have low tolerance of low temperature. However, the temperature usually goes down to the least 9 degrees centigrade or about 50 degrees Fahrenheit, and can have a high of 24 degrees centigrade or 75 degrees Fahrenheit. These images are just some of the common things one can see.

Thick forest of Pine Trees is a wealth of Sagada. It gives residents and visitors the real scent of Pine trees.

Rice Farms found in Demang, next to Patay.

Carpentry and furniture making is one of the source of income of the men of Sagada

This is the center of Sagada. This is the Junction(Crossing) of Sagada where one gets down.  The road going down to the left(where the police station) is going top Bugang area, and the road on the right where the man is standing is going to Besao.

                                                

            

Restaurants and eateries are found along the main road

This is the St. Mary's Church of Sagada

Next to St. Mary's is the bus parking area where it waits for passengers going back to Baguio City.

Due to the rising popularity of Sagada as a tourist destination, transportation is becoming a problem.  People have to wait in line;  though buses are always on time.

The famous Sumaguing Cave.

Can you find the hanging coffins in the picture?  If you look straight just above the grasses below you'll see them.  This was an old traditional practice in Sagada.  Some prominent people are put high in this place, a hole is made through those stones and the coffin with the body is push in.

One can view this scenery at Ambasing.  That is where the hanging coffins are.

I found this image to be cute so I snapped a picture.  This two kids climbed up on the side of this mountain to get shelter from the rain.

If one happens to have a chance in visiting a wake, it is no surprise to see how meat is cooked.  This menu is called "Anger" or boiled meat.  Only salt was added but one could taste the real taste of meat.

Images On The Way To Sagada

Are you planning to visit Sagada? If you are, you might want to have some idea what to see on the way to Sagada. Here are some images I took in some of recent visits to where my ancestors were born.








This place is known as the Highest Point which is found in Sayangan, Atok, Benguet. Here is the place where travelers stop to relieve themselves. This was build at the later part of year 1990's during the time of President Fidel V. Ramos. A project by Capuyan Construction, and under the supervision of Mr. Henry Malidom.
