Many Filipinos come here on weekends because the hanging coffins are one of Luzon's landmarks. For over 2,000 years, the people of Sagada have practiced a rather unique burial rite. Here, the dead are not buried but on the contrary, the coffins are suspended from the walls of the cliffs because placed in height, the spirits have more chance to reach the afterlife. Some coffins are over a century old. It should be noted that this custom tends to die out.

Rien de transcendant
Sagada est l'un des principaux sites touristiques du Nord de Luzon, connu surtout pour ses cercueils suspendus. Rien de bien transcendant pourtant, la visite est vite faite et les guides fournissent peu d'explications. Ne justifie pas forcément le détour.

Nice walk where it is mandatory to take a guide to the tourist information center. The advantage is that the latter explains the history of these coffins and traditions. We need to make sure that we have shoes that can be muddy! Be careful on the weekend there are many people. Filipinos travel to their country and come to Sagada. A film was shot and boost the city.

jolie ballade où après avoir traversé le cimetière nous avons fait un premier stop sur un promontoire pour admirer les sarcophages pendues le long de la roche puis nous avons repris notre marche qui après une descente assez raide nous a conduit au pieds de ces mêmes sarcophages
