The cemetery is nicely located on top of a hill just behind the St. Mary’s Church.

One of the best places to have breakfast in Sagada is at the Masferre Restaurant. It’s just a few steps from the town hall. I love to sit by the window and look at the trees behind the St. Mary’s Church. Sometimes I could see cows grazing at the early hours of the morning.

I wasn’t expecting to find cattle in Sagada, considering the altitude of this mountain destination.
Here are the cows grazing on the lawn of the St. Mary’s Church.
Or are they going to hear Mass?

One of the top tourist destinations in Sagada is the majestic Bomod-ok Falls. It’s also known as the Big Falls as the counterpart of Bokong Falls (Small Falls). Between the two, Bomod-ok is a hundred times grander.
It’s also much harder to reach. If you’re not used to really long walks, I suggest you hire a [...]

On my way to Echo Valley, I was amazed to see a cemetery on top of the hill behind the St. Mary’s Church. It was my first trip and Sagada quickly proved that she has a lot of surprises for the first-time visitor.
And right beside it, a few steps down, was the Globe mobile antenna. [...]
