Mount Ampacao
Mount Ampakaw
One of Sagada's highest peaks, reached in 1–2 hours by a pine forest trail, with panoramic views over the town and the distant terraces.
Mount Ampacao lies southwest of Sagada town, at an elevation of about 1,900 metres, and is a common climbing route locally. From town, it takes 1–2 hours through pine forest and vegetable fields to reach the summit. The summit offers wide views over Sagada town, Echo Valley and the distant Cordillera mountains, and early mornings may bring a sea of clouds. It is often combined with Lake Danum or Lumiang Cave for a half-day hike. A registered guide is required. Sagada visitors must first register at the town tourism center and pay the environmental fee. Most sites require a registered guide.
