Lake Danum
Sunset Viewing Lake
Lake Danum is also 4 kilometers away from the town center of Sagada which can be done in an hour and ten minutes walk along Sagada's West Road. So you may need to know the time of the sunset and you must be there at least 30 minutes before the sun sets to enjoy the view. Or, if you do not have the time, you may rent a transportation from the tourism center and pay Php 550. The price of transportation in Sagada is hefty eventhough it is only a few kilometers away. This may be due to the reason that Sagada is one of the famous tourism spots in the Philippines, add to it the condition of the roads where most of it are still unpaved and uphill. Lake Danum is a small lake which is a Kankana-ey word (also is prevalent in Ilocano) which means water. It is surrounded by pine trees and its scent proliferate the area making a relaxed atmosphere and one of the best places to camp at Sagada.
Sunrise Viewing Kiltepan Peak
It’s really hard to wake up in a very low temperature. Especially if your body is not keen to low temperatures and its 4AM. Nah I bet all you wanna do is hide your poor body in a thick blankets and curve your knees like the actual fetus. Oh poor boy, but in the end itinerary won the game, and should be followed. Before we get outside, we were covered with thick jackets. I have two, one is thermal with hoodie and another one is winter jacket. No need for bonnet but I have one prepared.
Hike to the peak for a view of sunrise. Takes around 45-minute walk to get from the pueblo to Kiltepan.
Sagada Weaving, St Mary's Church & Echo Valley
To sum it all up, my Sagada experience was a blast! Sagada is indeed one of Philippine treasures! Amidst with the long travel from Manila plus the long and winding road it was a priceless experience. I you are planning to visit this amazing place, go with your friends! Travelling alone is okay but trekking with friends is more fun!
