The
best month you will go there will be “BER” months till February because the big
splash of the water falls will be overwhelming. The water temperature is
negative and once you plunge into it you feel the freezing point of the water. You
can stay there as long as your body can overcome the coldness.

| Hanging Coffins |
In added to the hot spots, “Hanging coffins” also
marked in Sagada. This is the traditional way of burying their love ones and
ancestors. Literally, they hanged the coffins to the edge of the cliff or mountains
or sometimes it can be seen inside the caves. The higher the coffins, the
higher the position of that person in their society, to show respect for what they’ve
done.
These places are very prosperous
in mountains, Mt Ampacao and Malboro Hills are some of them that are good in
camping and picnic for the whole family and barkadas. These places are very
safe but you should trek it up to the top for you to feel the breeze of the cold
and fresh air. You will realize how beautiful the mountains are and how God
created this huge triangular shaped thing on earth proportionately.
