Weird Structures Hanging Off Cliff Hold A Frightening Sight For People Brave Enough To Visit

Unsurprisingly, these breathtaking above-ground cemeteries are quite difficult for the average visitor to access, but they’re easy to see through binoculars, a camera, and even the naked eye.

Visitors who happen to get closer to the hanging coffins shouldn’t forget that the site is more than just a curiosity; it’s a real cemetery. The coffins are not to be touched or even walked under, and they should be respected just as much as any other gravesite!

Those interested in visiting these hanging coffins should know that it’s quite a long journey. Visitors planning to fly to the Philippines from most other places in the world will probably land in the capital city of Manila…

From the Philippines’s most bustling metropolis, it’ll take at least 12 hours by bus or car just to reach Sagada… and that’s if they’re traveling during the summer! For anyone who visits during the rainy season, it’ll take even longer.

Regardless of whether you plan to make the long, challenging (and likely expensive) trek to Sagada, there’s no denying that it’s one of the most special—if more than a bit morbid—places on Earth!

It’s amazing that this special, if not strange, tradition has continued in Sagada for this long. These people are truly dedicated to their past!
