Hanging Coffins of Sagada

I call it, Hitting 2 birds with one stone. Sweat out the calories and see the beautiful scenery upon reaching the famous Hanging Coffins. The hike was about 30mins if you’re as fast as us. But will take for about an hour for those who walks slow and enjoys the view. 10/10 would recommend!

In fact, the Chinese are not unfamiliar with the way of hanging coffins, similar in the south and west. But the Philippines, here is its own feature, like this site has Catholic characteristics, the higher the hanging, the closer to God, so you will see some coffins with crosses, which is what remains of Spanish colonial rule.

There are not many coffins here, there are about 18, and the hanging position is not high. In order to protect against disturbance, it can be stopped about 10 meters away. This is also respect for the deceased, but tourists come every day and it is really disturbing.

300 pesos guide fee. No matter how many people you are, this money must be given. In fact, this is an imposed fee. I finally waited, and there were two people in the team. Then we split the fee equally. In fact, 10 people correspond to a guide. More people are more cost-effective. Go in and see the coffin hanging on the rock wall. Pass through a public grave first.

To see this coffin hanging on a cliff, you have to find the way, because you have to go through a cemetery, so you have to find the way to reach, in fact, ten minutes to walk, but the guides at the entrance of the scenic spot ask you to pay only. You want to avoid them so early, before they go to work.
