| hanging coffins |
On our last day we planned to go to the Echo Valley and to
check out the Hanging Coffins, we woke up early and walked our way near the
basketball court. The day before, I’ve met Dan, he was one of the kids who
offer guided tour going to echo valley and the hanging coffins. He charged P100
per pax. He was a little shy and I started making conversation with him and
asked if he’s still going to school, he said yes and that he and his friends we’re
doing this only during weekends, summer and whenever they don’t have classes,
he said that he save some of the money and give the rest to his mother, good
boy!
He then started pointing directions and telling stories
about the echo valley and the hanging coffins (bumebwelo lang naman pala ang
bata kala ko mahiyain). You’ll already have an idea just from its names.
We’ve reached the cemetery, this was where we stopped
walking on our first day here in Sagada and based on the map we bought you have
to walk thru the cemetery and the map is correct, you really have to cross the
cemetery (as in literal na tawid hehe). Then there was a trail going down and
Dan told us that it’s the area where you can have a good echo, I shouted (pero sablay
pumiyok ako, nagdadalaga ate mo) and it did not sound so good so I just kept
following Dan.

There was a big wall and Dan told me that if I wish to wall
climb that’s where they do it and I think SAGGAS was also offering wall
climbing.

Few minutes after (at 10 hingal kabayo) we reached the
hanging coffins. Dan told us that their
ancestors were placed in the coffins like the shape of the fetus that’s why the
coffins were small and that it the higher they were the closer it will be to
heaven and also to protect them from animals. He’ll be one good guide in the
future.

| welcome! |
The echo valley and hanging coffins are worth visiting, your
Sagada adventure will not be complete without going here, not only will it take
you minutes to do it but also cheap.
