After Banaue, we stopped by in Sagada, The Mountain Province on our way to Baguio. We past by at the highest point of the highway, which is 22,000 feet high!
Sagada is popular for its hanging coffins. It is still the funeral practices and burial customs for certain minority groups.
The coffins were first put up at the mountain cliffs before the body was put inside later. The reason why they were buried in such ways are to bring the deceased closer to heaven. Not only the hanging ones, there are coffins that are stacked together inside a cave which are believed to exist the last 400 years.
Besides the coffins, Sagada is also known for its outdoor activities such as hiking, cave exploring, nature hikes, waterfalls and water rafting. But as we are not in proper attire and not having the time, we decided to pass all that and proceed our journey to Baguio.
The scenery is simply breathtaking.
But the road, it's breathless. Hehe.
