The first time I have heard about this Mountain Province town was two years ago when Ian showed me this website. (He mentioned that his friend Benj is the moderator of the site.) We were so impressed with the content that we immediately planned to go there.

| Finally! I'm in Sagada! |
When Cebu Pacific had a piso sale last June, I grabbed the opportunity to book a flight to Manila and spend almost a week there so I could finally go to Sagada. I didn't care if I had a regular job. All I wanted was to go there!
But I succumbed to the corporate world eventually. I told my boss that I have these dates for next year booked already and they cannot be cancelled. (Job, be damned!) So even without any paid vacation leaves, I went ahead with my travel plans.
Last week, I spent my second vacation of the year in Sagada—one of the most exhilarating experiences I've had in my life.
The trip had a rough start because of missed and delayed flights, angry friends, crazy manila traffic and crazy bus schedules. But, in retrospect, this rough start only added to the wonderful and amazing adventure I had. (More details in a later post.)
What I learned from this experience is to never give up. Get what you want and don't let delays deter you. If you keep persevering, you will ultimately get to your destination. And trust me, it'll be worth it!
Now boarding:
- We took the midnight Victory Liner Pasay bus trip to Baguio.
- We arrived in Baguio past 6 A.M., and caught the 6:30 A.M. bus trip to Sagada. The Victory Liner terminal in Baguio, where we got off, is not far from the Sagada bus terminal. The cab fare was around P35/under $1.
- There were five to six stops along the way. We arrived in Sagada around 1:30 P.M.
