If you are looking for the best view on top of the world and wild horses, then Marlboro Country is the place to go. Located in Lamagan which is on the western part of Sagada, the place is one of the highest points of Sagada.Like most of the attractions in Sagada, a trip to Marlboro Country required an accredited guide. So, the Tourist Information center provided us one. We rented a van that took us to the foot of the hill on a rough, stony path. We then trekked for about thirty minutes to reach the summit of the Lamagan.
The views from there are simply spectacular. The bright, clear sky complemented the greens of the place. Rolling hills and a view of a community below is such a delight. Too bad, we didn't see any wild horses but we saw and pass by several of their droppings :). But nevertheless, the view from there is more than enough to make this trip worthwhile. Here are some photos I have taken from the place:

ReplyDeletebetter to take in these views instead of nicotine! :)
Come to where the flavor is... the flavor of pot definitely fits in there. Mary Jane Country dapat yan lol.
ReplyDeleteSagada is truly a wonderful place. Too bad I haven't been there. Sana makapagplan ako soon to go there. You have wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful country side. Was this place named after the cigarette or vice versa? Just kidding.
ReplyDeletemay marlboro country din sa pampanga
ReplyDeletemost of my childhood summers were spent there
but it is not as scenic as the marlboro country na pinuntahan mo
=)
LS: What a majestic view, thanks for sharing all the beauty of the area in the clouds.
ReplyDeleteI like that last photo! Makes me want to go there! : )
ReplyDeleteI've ben going back and forth to Sagada (and Banaue) since the mid 90s but have never done Marlboro Country and have been wanting to... Nice view indeed and too bad no horses, they're really hard to spot daw talaga. Nice shots! Makes me want to hop on a bus tonight! :-)
