Nagarao, the island of the Tree Spirits
Wow! I’ve never felt so busy lately. Lots of things to take care of and lots of things to write and look forward to. Just along with some stuff from the Batanes Photo Safari, I still have to write about some sites from Pangasinan. This is just another short posts, some brief teasers of the places we visited in Iloilo and Guimaras as something to for you guys to watch out for. We only had a limited time so we have to pick some spots. Iloilo and Guimaras is huge!

Down at the southern tip of Guimaras is honestly one of the most beautiful Islands I have seen. In fact, I’m already longing to go back there just for the myriad photo opportunity its beautiful landscape offers. Nagarao, also known as the Island of the Tree Spirits will just captivate you.

I never expected Iloilo to be so huge. I never really liked the central City of Iloilo itself when we were there since I find it a bit cramped and disorganized. Traveling beyond the city boundaries though will reward you with more attractions that it would take weeks just to explore most of them. Not to be missed is the impressive Church of Miagao. Just standing in front of the thick and elaborate facade of this church, you’ll find it really worthy of being one of the country’s UNESCO World Heritage sites.
There is more to Miagao than its church. Moving deeper in its mountains you’ll find more natural attractions. One of these is Bugsukan Falls. It’s one of those sights that’s really hard to find. Fortunately, there were kind locals who are willing to lend a hand and we got to find the place.
That’s it for now. Detailed post coming in the next few days.
@Nina : Will be posting in the coming weeks. Medyo madaming backlog but I’ll surely post them
@Lagalog : Thanks Oggie. Those red petals are unusual on a beach kaya it caught my attention
@Nina : Thanks!
@Photo Cache : A bit hard to find but we did and will share it to you guys
@BW : It’s an enigma to me as well and some parts are still. Will explore more in the future
@Lino : Salamt lino. Will also go back there in the future
@Rayts : Haha! Maraming salamat coming from you.
@Barrycade : Thanks! Guimaras is a nice place to visit
@Shoshona : Thank you very much for that Award! Really appreciate it being part of your list.
@Eric : Guimaras seems nice, but it’s not that small an island compared to Siquijor. I thought it was but it was bigger than I expected and a lot of places to explore as well.
Ferdz, have you sold some of your prints as a mural? There’s a few prints I wouldn’t mind being a mural in my wall.
iloilo and guimaras is still an unknown place for me since I have not really explored much of these places especially in Guimaras which I haven’t gone to before.
Kung sa Iloilo naman, parati lang half day or one day and it really doesn’t give much time to look around. Of course, having the La Paz batchoy and trips to Miag-ao is a must.
il going back to bacolod april 26 for an event. might be back to iloilo.guimaras on the 27th or baka mag dumaguete din ako
ferdz nakakainggit ka!!! hehehe… love the buguskan falls pic..
