SAGADA Thread 5

[michi247]

Natapos na rin ko magbackread, niyaya kasi ko ni hubby na magSagada kaso takot talaga ko sa biyahe. Ayaw ko magaya kay Tado tapos dami ko pa nabasa na pa S, W at Z ang daan. Kayanin kaya ng kotse ang biyahe to Sagada.

Kasama ko rin for sure nag 6yrs old ko anak, may activity ba kami magagawa or food trip lang. Echo Valley sana, kaso may nabasa ko na may mga nalaglag na foreigner daw pababa ng hanging coffin? Mahirap ba talaga daan?

Trying to reserve accommodations in sagada kayalang lahat ng inn na napagtanungan ko ay fully booked ma daw. dalawa lang kami. Ok lang kaya na magwalk-in kami at dun na maghanap. Hoping kasi na baka may mga inns na hindi nakaadvertise sa net na dun lang namin makikita. Kahit yung mga maliliit lang na homestay. feedback mga sis. Thanks.

[shraen]

nakapag pa reserve po kami sa Treasure Rock inn. anyone heard of this place?

[_pink12_]

^^hanshelite, kung di naman kayo maselan, definitely may mahahanap naman kayo kahit homestay. Once na magregister kayo sa Tourist Info Center, sabihin nyo rin na naghahanap kayo ng accommodation. Tsaka dapat you will arrive in Sagada before lunch para may time pa para maghanap ng matutulugan.

Anybody here familiar with Villa de Familia? Newest Inn daw sya sa Sagada so wala pa sya masyado info online. Nag reserve kasi kami dun for this weekend weeks ago kaya lang when we tried calling their number today wala sumasagot ng phone and wala din reply sa text namin. First time ko mag sagada so I'm wondering kung ganun lang ba talaga dun or tama lang ba ako kabahan sa reservations namin? Sayang naman yung layo ng byahe tapos pag dating namin dun wala naman pala kami matutuluyan.

[moccaccino]

Kamusta naman yung trip nyo over the weekend mga sis? Natuloy din kami.  First time ko makapunta dun & there were some places that I quite liked pero I think last ko na yun. After our experience once is enough for me. Ganun lang talaga pala sila ka relaxed dun & the people are mostly very friendly. The place we stayed in was nice & warm near the municipio but far enough from the main road that you don't hear or smell the pollution of the cars.  Busy lang talaga yung manager ng villa kaya di nya nasasagot yung phone. Ang ganda ng Cellar Door and yung views sa Gaia Cafe was worth the walk.

Para sa mga takot mag commute & balak mag drive to Sagada ok naman yung daan.  We were able to make it up there comfortably with a sedan (wag lang lowered car kasi may onting rough roads pa din).  Just make sure you have safe & secure parking sa titirahan ninyo. Nag park kami sa pay parking sa church kasi dun daw yung common parking ng visitors & safe naman daw.  Pag balik namin after the first night nakita namin na ninakaw yung mga borbola ng gulong namin. We thought minor issue lang naman kaya di na namin nireport. After ng 2nd night wala na yung side mirrors & yung windshield wipers. Buti nalang maabilidad si BF at nagawan nya ng paraan yung wiper & mirror para makabalik kami sa Manila. Sa lahat ng ni research ko di ko naman nabalitaan na may crime na ganun dun kaya sobra ako na disappoint. Pero talking to the police about it meron pala mga nangyayari doon tuwing peak season. Ingat nalang sa mga pupunta in the future. The place is nice but be wary & careful.

^ aww so sorry about the car. Fortunately, nagawan ng way, kung tutuusin super risky ang ginawa ng bf mo.

Our guide told us na super rare ng crime sa kanila. Kasi pag nahuli ka ata and napatunayan, the so-called leaders will ask you to leave the town. Ini-alienate raw nila kasi kahihiyan daw yun for them. But I guess wala talagang di nasisilaw eh.

[moccaccino]

Thanks sis Zelda.  The drive back took us 12 hours but we made it home safe & ok. While talking to the locals I found out that we were the 3rd incident to happen in 1 month. Sana nga they can do something about that. Ang ganda pa naman ng Sagada.

[simang]

Sis moccacino so sad to hear your story. Baka talagang may nanamantala ngayong ang daming turista sa sagada.

Anyway, we were there from thurs-sunday. Konting adventures lang nagawa namin. Chill na chill lang yung iti namin. Haha. Nameet ko din dun si sis hanshelite and her bf.

[mango_shake]

sis pashare naman ng travel agency nyo to Sagada.. pa pm na lang.. tia! 

[mixxy16]

First time in Sagada last 18-20, solo trip. Had loooots of fun here kahit spelunking lang yung activity na natry ko. Might go back by Feb!

[simang]

sis pashare naman ng travel agency nyo to Sagada.. pa pm na lang.. tia! 

DIY lang kami. I don't think an agency is necessary for sagada. Easy lang mag organize ng tours and adventures since may tourist information center naman.

[beautyandcurves]

Hi mga sis punta kami ni boyfie sa Sagada Feb 13-15 via mla-banaue- sagada at pauwi sagada - baguio- mla. Any accomodation na pwede nyo masuggest? Better kung may kitchen. May contact ba kayo sa sa SAGASS?  TIA!

[mixxy16]

We stayed at Indigenous Inn. 300/night, per head. Super bait and accomodating ni Wan-ay samin during our stay.

Then sa spelunking, nagSAGGAS kami. Yung tour guide namin is si Jolly(sp?), sobrang bait and pasensyoso din samin. He's also really kwela.

[yoonhye]

^ sis baka puede makahingi contact # ng Indigenous Inn. Mdyo kelangan ko pa ng konting push sa sarili pra makarating ng Sagada TIA

[simang]

We stayed at Davey's Inn (formerly Alfredo's Inn). 300/night/person din. May fireplace sila and nakakatuwa yung mga guests kase nung last night namin na nawalan ng ilaw, dun sila nagstay sa may fireplace at nagkantahan. Hehe

Ginanahan na ko nung sinabi mo na ok ang sedan papunta sagada kaso natakot naman ko sa experience mo. Akala ko pa naman safe kasi nga mababa crime rate nila or baka hindi lang narereport talaga.

[moccaccino]

^ To be sure just don't park overnight in the public areas. So far yung mga nabalitaan ko nakawan nangyari sa church, tapat ng municipal hall & along the road going to Besao. I saw some accommodations na may sariling parking areas so baka dun secure naman. Sabi nung isang guest sa villa yung iba nagddrive daw hanggang baguio and sa SM sila nagpapark. Then they commute the rest of the way to Sagada.

[ohcmon]

Balak ko mag solo trip dito sa Holy Week, April 2-4. Sobrang dami ba talagang tourists nun that I'd have to reserve na for accommodation ngayon na?

Tour guides won't be a problem naman, I won't do spelunking or hiking or any of those active stuff, hehe. I might need one lang for Kiltepan pero 'yun lang. Tamang chill na trip lang ang gusto ko.

who's going to sagada on feb 20-22? i really wanna go pero walang makasama kasi busy o kaya walang budget mga friends ko. huhuhu! i'm thinking of going there solo...
