Years back, the tribes that inhabited Sagada practiced the tradition of placing the coffins of the dead outside a cave opening instead of the traditional human burial. it is not even placed inside the cave as they believe that the dead deserves to be exposed. There are 109 coffins with mummified bodies stacked and piled at the entrance to the caves.

  1. When I first saw the caves I thought is was wooden coffins for children but I later learned that the dead are folded. Sagada has lots of unique and interesting culture.
