This ancient burial tradition, practised for over 2,000 years by the Igorot people, reflects their belief that placing the deceased high up brings them closer to ancestral spirits and the afterlife. Some of the coffins are more than a century old, and while rare today, this unique tradition remains a powerful testament to the region’s cultural heritage.
