Talk about wonders of nature and Sagada seems to have it all. In fact, this mountainous town has its own smaller version of the Underground River and Biak-Na-Bato.To get there, one must traverse the somewhat tricky trails of echo valley and trek your way amidst muddy paths and thorny plants. You even need to cross and wade thru mini-streams just to get to this really amazing spot. But unlike its bigger counterpart in Palawan, the Underground river here ain't navigable. And also, unlike its bigger counterpart in Bulacan, the Biak-Na-Bato here is just a big chunk of stone which is split in the middle. Both versions are ideal for having your photos taken. Although it is a muddy-trek, a visit to this place is well worth-it.

Happy slipping? I hope he didn't injure himself! Nice photos as usual! : )
ang ganda ng kulay ng mga rocks.

The spot is beautiful. It was worth all the trouble it took to get there. Yes, easy for me to say! Thanks for doing all the work and bringing back such great photos.
Fantastic photos, Lawstude... I marvel at the beauty of this awesome place.
Thanks for the journey, I didn't slip at all :D
Beautiful, rich colours.

thank you for the lovely trip to sagada
Wow the place looked so fantastic and beautiful. I will looked at the website that you linked. I hope all safe over your side and sorry about the flooding in your country.
Wow ! is that beautiful ! I love these wild, rocky landscapes !
mukhang nabiyak biyak na nga yung mga bato. haha. nakakatakot parang guguho bigla. ^__^
That last photo - so slippery! Looks like a great place as long as you don't fall too many times!
namiss ko na ang mountain climbing when i saw your pics! I'd like to wander around Sagada someday. love your pics, as always!
My world is up.
Your efforts to get there were most certainly rewarded. What a perfectly stunning spot. Great photos. Well done. Happy you made it back in one piece on that slippery slope.
Beautiful photos. Glad you didn't slip in all the mud.
Beautiful photos - they get across what a hard treck it must be, but worthwhile! Love the action shot of your friends slipping, but most of all I love the colours of the rocks and the water. Your long exposure shot makes it all look very mystical!
Janice.
What an interesting place. I really like pictures 3, 5 and 6.
I love those water shots. The water and rock seem to be one form in them. These are stunning. Your country blows me away.
Awsome photos! Far more interesting than the photos of my country! I was thinking of you and the other people of the Philippines. Did you suffer from the flood? I saw it in the newspaper and on TV.
I love it that you can only get there by foot.
Beautiful photos - great colours - amazing landscape
Very interesting places and photos u have. Makes me feel like going to Manila. Are those places ( and your previous post ) somewhere near to Manila ? Perhaps i should make a trip there someday.
Btw, how's the flood over there ?

LS: That certainly is an unusual place, neat photos of all you have seen my friend.
Thank God, that you were safe!
Stunning images!
Such stunning photographs! What is your equipment? I better start saving for those now ;)
You find beauty where ever you go. It looks like you had a good time, too.
Are you affected by the flooding?
What a great spot
kala ko biak na bato samin sa bulacan...mukhang kakaiba ang biak na bato dyan...
yung sa bulacan na datin tambayan namin sa biak na bato, ngayon nung nagpunta ako last year eh puno na ng bandalism...sayang talaga yun.
I love the shots you took of this amazing place. Thanks so much for you comment and kind words on mine. Coming from you that means a lot. I admire your photography so much.
Beautiful nature and beautiful photos.
Did you noticed any birds there?.
Beautiful photos of the river! I hope the slipping hiker didn't bump his head!
I hope you are not affected by this terrible flood.
Your photos are beautiful, it must have been a great trek.
The jungles in NTU are protected by the government. People are not allowed to go in, some soldiers do their training. There are protected signs all over. But I have ventured to the edges to look for plants, not exactly where I took the photos.
But there are a lot of animal activities. We have had monkeys coming out. People have seen monitor lizards, armadillos and wild pigs.
Beautiful photos here although I could see that the rocks are sharp and that it looks dangerous. Glad you didn't injure yourself and your friends too.
Very interesting place & photo you have:)
I'm not sure if i can go for such adventure journey anyway thanks.
Beautiful photos! I love the colors!
Thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures of the underground river. I'm not sure there is such a thing as 'happy slipping', however. But it is a great picture.
Great pics bro. Ang sakit naman yata ng pagkakadulas. Kumusta naman mga buto-buto nyo jan?
wow, that is gorgeous territory, and you've taken some fabulous photos - I love the 'soft' photo of the cascade.
Yup no injuries from that slip. Whew!
Though I did re-sprain my right knee at Small Falls.
Everytim I see me slipping in that photo, I can't help but smile. Nice job Oman!
love that last shot, parang totoo.
totoo yung slip na yan. lol

this is my favorite of the sagada series - i love what you did with the rocks.
That place is just beautiful. How amazing it would be to hike those trails and enjoy the experience of being close to nature.
