If you visit Sagada you simply have to go and have a close up look at the Hanging Coffins. Some people in the small mountain village have arranged it so that they can be suspended on the side of a mountain in their coffins rather than buried or installed in the caves like some of the other locals. It was definitely a must-see for me and you get to walk through the beautiful Echo Valley at the same time. A very interesting and haunting place.

Sagada couldn’t get more mystifying without the elements of the mummies. When you go to Sagada caves in Philippines there are hanging coffins to be found on the cliffs made of limestone. The people of Sagada have devised a unique burial ritual involving the placement of dead relatives into caves after carefully preparing a hollowed out log.

I have visited Sagada in 2009 and actually saw the hanging coffins. It's interesting but after doing few pictures there not much else. You don't need to book a guide because it's easy to find. Go to the graveyard and leave it on the backside, then walk following the path for 5min and then you already see them.
