A Quick Tour in Guimaras

By

 

I was travelling the entire Western Visayas and it will not be complete without the island of Guimaras. This island is just 15 minutes boat ride from Iloilo port going to Jordan Wharf.  The fare will cost you for only 14 pesos. Going here, I don't have any contacts because as I have read on other blogs there are many tricycle for rent that offers you tour packages right after you reach Jordan Wharf. I got mine for only 600 pesos and you will visit the smallest plaza, Ore Verde mango farm, San Lorenzo Wind farm and Playa de paraiso.

The tricycle driver as the same time my tour guide is very informative. I didn't visit the other tourist spots in Guimaras because of thight budget and limited time.


 

Smallest Plaza - This remain as the smallest plaza in the Philippines that was once earned a title as the smallest plaza in the world in the Guinness Book of Record.


 

Ore Verde Mango Farm- A 240 hectare farm where you can see the Guimaras famous mango up close. Guimaras was tagged as the mango capital of the Philippines and where the sweetest mangoes can be found.


 

San Lorenzo Wind Farm - It has 27 wind turbines that stands approximately 123 meters tall is one of the tourist attraction in Guimaras where tourist can view the 27 wind turbines at Lookout Point number Seventeen.


 
Playa de Paraiso - This is a beach resort where you can rent a room if you opt to stay for a few days in Guimaras. The place has a pool overlooking the beach. 


 

Visiting Guimaras is never complete without tasting their sweet mangoes and experiencing their famous Mango Pizza at Pitstop.

Natividad is located at the eastern side of Pangasinan. Me and my friend are having a road trip and we decided to travel to the eastern part of Pangasinan. While on our way I suggest to them what if we go to Sky Plaza in Natividad because according to rumors the place is beautiful. So we ask for a direction going there and yes we find the place. Going up there at Sky Plaza will test your resistance and its a good exercise because you are climbing on a hill. I don't know how many steps will it takes to reach the top but I assure you that its worth it if you are already on the top. At the top of the hill you will see this image of Jesus Christ its just like in Monasterio de Tarlac. Before going up on the stairs there is chapel beside it. Inside of the chapel. Beside the Chapel, there are monkey's but hands off it might harm you. The Arch of Love which is the start of your journey to the top. This sign will be seen along th...
