Kiltepan-Sumaguing [Sagada]

[Kiltepan]
On our 2nd day, we went to kiltepan for a perfect top view of rice terraces. one thing I learned here: NEVER GO HERE ON A FEBRUARY. coz everything's brown and rice terraces don't look so pleasing, not like in my previous visits (best month to visit kiltepan: April, coz of the planting season)

*wishing they're green* hehe


[Sumaguing Cave]
after the short stay in kiltepan, we went to Sumaguing cave. I was so giddy the whole time because IT WAS MY FIRST TIME! i've been wanting to see this cave since my first Sagada, but I was unfortunate during those times --first visit, I was with senior citizens :| 2nd visit, I had flu! This time I was lucky, God finally let me see Sumaguing!

Everything inside the cave's just sooo perfect. stalactites and stalagmites are incredibly shiny in photos, but when touched, they're actually rough like frozen sand! really amazing! (well except for the really slimy part where it's hard to walk --one wrong step will really kill you!) some pics:


"sit if you feel like you're sliding!"


I love standing on cold water...


"water's so cold!"


my pinakanakaka-tense moment. rapelling! :O


our only source of light --one lamp!


me and cie enjoying the super cold water


Exploring this cave is not an easy experience. In fact this is the most dangerous thing I did in my entire life! but it's oh so rewarding. I'm glad I did it! but hey, did I over-psych myself that this site will be too hard? coz I expected something harderrrr. Not that this site's too easy! It's just that I thought of more rapelling spots and too narrow cave vents, haha :D
