Sagada, Mountain municipality in Mountain Province, Philippines

Located at an elevation of 1,472 meters, Sagada extends across multiple valleys surrounded by limestone cliffs and dense mountain forests of the Cordillera region.

The Anglican missionaries established their presence in 1904, constructing the Church of Saint Mary the Virgin and creating Saint Mary's School for local education.

The indigenous Kankanaey people maintain their burial tradition of placing wooden coffins along cliffsides, a practice continuing for more than two millennia.

Visitors reach Sagada via public buses from Manila through Baguio City, with the journey taking approximately nine hours on mountain roads.

The Sumaguing Cave system contains extensive chambers with limestone formations, requiring guided tours through narrow passages and underground streams.
