πŸš— Getting Around Sagada: Transport Tips for Exploring the Mountain Gem

πŸŒ„ A Quick Guide to Getting Around Sagada

If you're headed to Sagada in Mountain Province, one of the Philippines' most scenic highland towns, you might be wondering—how do I get around once I’m there?

The good news? Sagada may be small and walkable, but it still requires a bit of planning when it comes to transportation, especially if you're visiting major spots like Bomod-ok Falls, Sumaguing Cave, and Marlboro Hills.

Whether you're going DIY or joining guided tours, here’s how to explore Sagada efficiently and enjoy every breathtaking stop.


🚢‍♂️ Walking Around Town

Sagada’s town proper is compact and best explored on foot. You’ll find:

  • Restaurants πŸ₯˜
  • Souvenir shops πŸ›️
  • Inns & cafΓ©s
  • St. Mary’s Church
  • Echo Valley and the Hanging Coffins πŸͺ¦

Tip: Wear comfortable shoes—there are a lot of uphill walks and rocky paths.


🚐 Local Tours & Registered Vans

To visit sites like Bomod-ok Falls, Kiltepan Sunrise Viewpoint, and Blue Soil Hills, you’ll need to book transportation through:

  • The Sagada Genuine Guides Association (SAGGAS) or
  • The Municipal Tourist Office

πŸ“ All tourists are required to register and coordinate tours here.

πŸ’‘ Tip: Group tours help reduce costs, and the rates are fixed by the local government to ensure fairness.


πŸ›΅ Motorbike & Bicycle Rentals

🚲 Not common but available with some effort. Ask local inns or your guide if they can arrange one.
