A memorial cliff where the beautiful views of lime stones and the most visible hanging coffins can be found is the Echo Valley. From St. Mary’s Church, you will be passing through a cemetery and trek for a few minutes before reaching the view deck. The place was named as such because of the echo it produces when somebody shouts at a distance.

SAGADA FALLS
Another popular activity that one shouldn't miss when visiting Sagada is the trek to two of Sagada's most visited and sought after attractions, the Bokong Falls "Small Falls" and Bomod-ok Falls "Big Falls".
BOMOD-OK FALLS
The trek begins near a basketball court in Banga-an, then passing through the villages of Modongo, Banga-an, Fidelisan. The downhill trek has already been made easier because of the concrete walkways that were built across the maze-like trails of the rice terraces. The whole trek would really long and exhausting, with the sun scorching at times. This, however, was worth all the effort because the views and sceneries of the picturesque rice terraces on your way down were truly stunning and breathtaking.

SAGADA CAVES
SUMAGING CAVE
Sumaging cave is a frequent tourist attraction and is also one of the most popular cave in sagada. Also known as the "Big Cave", this cave served as the Filipino Soldiers' refuge from the Japanese guerrillas during the World WAR II. It is interconnected to other caves in Sagada such as the Lumiang Cave and one would usually take almost 2 to 3 hours to explore the cave.
There were also thousands of bats at the cave's opening so you better watch out for dropping bat guano as you go down the cave. in the middle of the trail, you were then asked by your guides to remove your sandals/slippers/shoes since it is iesier to walk barefoot on the steep rocks.
Inside the cave , one will surely be astonished by the cave's natural and splendid beauty.You will see different and awesome rock formations with funny and interesting names, tiny waterfalls, a mini pool and magnificent stalactites and stalagmites as you trail down the cave.
There are also some parts of the trail where you will need to geet in through tiny holes, pass by high steep inner passages, rappel using rustic ropes and walk or swim in waist deep cold water.
For those tourists who are more adventurous and who would want more adrenaline rush, try the "CAVE CONNECTION".
LUMIANG CAVE
Lumiang Cave reffered as the "Small Cave", a sacred burial ground for the Ancient Sagadanians where the pine wood coffins stacked on top of the other. The coffins here can be viewed near the cave opening.
