As you begin your trip, remember to be respectful as you pass through religious and traditional areas. Keep your noise levels down and avoid shouting, as these are sacred spaces for the locals.
Your first stop on this tour is the Mission Compound, where you'll get a glimpse of the local religious community.

As you continue your walk down the valley, you'll come across one of Sagada's most intriguing sights, the Sagada Hanging Coffins. These ancient coffins are a testament to the unique burial traditions of the indigenous people from Sagada.
Exiting the valley, you'll arrive at Matangkib, a cavern where a river flows into underground channels that connect to Sagada's renowned caves. Finally, your Sagada walking tour ends at Bokong, a small river leading to a natural swimming pool.
Make sure to wear sturdy hiking shoes or sandals, especially for the muddy and slippery parts of the trail from Hanging Coffins to Matangkib Cave during rainy weather. If you're up for it, you can even bring swimwear and take a dip in the refreshing waters of the Bokong natural pool. For an extra thrill, rock climbing is available at the Paytokan Wall.
