When I went to Sagada, I usually stay in this Gaia café. It is a man-made tree house in the inner core. Despite the hot weather, the wind blows cold during the afternoon break. It is a 15-minute walk from Sumaging Cave. It is nice to read some books in the middle of the tree house.
If you are an adventurous person, it is better to check out the unusual structures in the mountains.
Would you dare to hike the mountain?

The Gaia Cafe became popular despite the location. Some Filipinos flock this place because of a famous movie "That Thing Called Tadhana" (That Thing Called Fate). I got intrigued and visited the place to see for myself.

Looks like a lovely place.
Yes, I have hiked and trekked mountains before. Been awhile since my last trek so hopefully, I can schedule a trek soon this summer.

If I were to go with someone who is a qualified expert Mountaineer yes.
At least I would try.
Beautiful image that.

Yes I would dare to hike the mountain gladly. I like the eye on the outside of this place.

I would not mind being in this man made tree house. I once went to stay in a lodge and it was a worthwhile experience. However during the day it was difficult for us to stay inside as it was too hot. So we would sit on the porch enjoying some nice drinks and chatting.

Sounds cool sounds, wonderful speaking. Just wonder how you guys get a moment to yourself, besides a closed door. More like a mountain top or a big fat tree, Big rock, something. Do you get some time to yourself?

I love the mountains, I would definitely like this tree house. Mountains in my country are not very dangerous though, and many people go for hiking adventures during spring. Do you have dangers while hiking at your area? Is it possible to meet bears for example if you go outside your track?

We don't have bears in the mountains, my friend. Hiking would be safe if you have a tourist guide in Sagada Mountain Province. It would be nice to explore this tourist attraction because this cannot be seen in the cities.
I took a photo inside the library of the Tree House.

This is very nice. There is nothing wrong in trying to scale it.
