I still remember the first time I walked through its cool pine-scented trails. The air felt different—crisper, calmer. Time seemed to slow down in Sagada, giving you space to breathe, reflect, and discover something new, whether deep inside a cave or in the silence of its hanging coffins.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through the top attractions in Sagada, including local tips, trail insights, and stories from my own experience—so you can make the most out of your journey.
Let’s begin your Sagada adventure 🌄👇
💧 1. Bomod-Ok Falls
Known as the “Big Falls,” Bomod-Ok is one of Sagada’s most famous landmarks. Nestled in Barangay Banga-an, it takes around 45 minutes to an hour of scenic trekking to reach. The view of the cascading water amid lush greenery makes it a rewarding experience.

🕯️ 2. Lumiang Burial Cave
A sacred site and historical wonder, Lumiang Cave is also known as the Burial Cave for a reason—you’ll find centuries-old coffins stacked at the entrance and inside. It’s one of the largest cave systems in Sagada and often combined with Sumaguing Cave in the Cave Connection tour.
