Sagada || Suggested Itinerary || How to Go There
If you wish to book a tour with the travel agency i highly recommend A Whole New World Travel Express because of their easy and reliable payment terms. Their service is very good and their guides are friendly and accommodating. You can even request to visit other sites that are not listed in the itinerary which we did. We requested to visit Gaia Cafe which was featured in the movie That Thing Called Tadhana and our request was granted! 😀
As per my colleague at work there is a direct trip from Manila to Sagada. When i did my research, indeed there’s one bus liner who caters direct route to Sagada. As of October 2015 CODA LINES launched their Manila-Sagada trips providing better and safer journey to the famed town of Mountain Province. Located at 277 E Rodriquez Sr. Ave, Cathedral Heights, Quezon City, the bus departs from their terminal every 9:00AM only, with more or less 13 hours travel time. They also have return trips to Manila departing from Sagada at 3:00PM daily.
If you want to take a longer route or would like to have a stop over in Banaue to take a picture of the famous Rice Terraces, you can take this route:
- Manila – Banaue
There are only 2 buses operating with a Manila-Banaue route. These are DANGWA TRANCO operated by Florida Bus and AUTOBUS TRANSPORT, both have terminals located in Sampaloc Manila. These buses leave the city every 10:00PM only, everyday and the estimated arrival time in Banaue is around 7:00AM. The ticket costs around Php600 per person. The trip last for 9 hours with a regular stop over for meals, snacks and personal necessities. The same buses also departs from Banaue every 5:00PM daily. I suggest that you secure a return trip ticket in advance especially during holidays and/or peak seasons.
