I stayed once at St. Joseph back in 2007 and I enjoyed it there completely. As it’s located on a hill, when you step outside of the inn, you will get a nice view of the town of Sagada including the mountains surrounding it.
Although you can’t tell by the picture, when I stayed there [...]

In all my trips to Sagada, I have yet to visit Lake Danum. They say it is best to go there during sunset and watch the glimmering water and the fading sun beyond the mountains.
Now that would be a lovely sight indeed.
I don’t know but every time I go to Sagada, Lake Danum was just [...]

Whenever it rains, I always wonder if it’s also raining at that moment in [...]

When I mentioned to her that it’s a 12-hour trip from Manila to Sagada, she said “No problem”.
But when I told her about 3 hours of that trip would be over rough road, she said “Oh…”
With just the thought of the rough road, my mom changed her mind of going to Sagada. And I can’t [...]

This photo was taken on my first trip to Sagada. They are the three loveliest ladies that ever set foot there.

They’re Amie, Adeth and Elena.
I seldom see them now and I deeply miss them.

Yes and no.
Sagada is indeed a great retreat for those seeking tranquility and an escape from the urban life. You can relax under the tall pine trees, beside the bushes filled with flowers, on the fresh and damp grass or on top of one of the rice terraces and wonder at the beauty of the [...]
