Sky-High Traditions: The Hanging Coffins of Sagada

High in the misty mountains of Sagada, the hanging coffins tell a story of an ancient and sacred tradition. Suspended on limestone cliffs, these coffins reflect the Igorot people's belief in bringing their departed closer to the heavens. A trek to Echo Valley unveils stunning views, serene forests, and the awe-inspiring sight of these unique burial practices. This cultural experience is a journey into the spiritual heritage of the Philippines, offering a glimpse into the region's deep respect for life, death, and the afterlife.
