"Why Sagada?" My workmates were still convincing me to go with them in Anawangin and I, on the hand, stood firm with my decision to go to Sagada. I have always loved Baguio for its cold temperature, but what if a vacation in a cold place will be partnered with a tour which includes passing by rice terraces in order to reach a big falls? And how about spelunking in connecting caves? There's something mysterious and peaceful about Sagada and at the same time, would provide me with the adventure I wanted.
A few days before my planned trip to Sagada, one workmate decided to tag along. Two days before departure, my workmate's brother and aunt wanted to come with us.
