Guimaras - The Philippines' Sweetest






The young island-province of Guimaras in Western Visayas is globally renowned for its sweet mangoes. Yet, sweet mangoes are not the province's only asset.

Guimaras is small yet majestic, standing tall between Iloilo and Bacolod cities. It boasts of ornate rock formations, diving sites, mountain biking routes, caves, rest houses, beach resorts, varied seafoods, retreat houses and pilgrimage centers, and many more.

To the weary residents of nearby Iloilo City, which is just 15 minutes away by boat from Guimaras, the island beckons, offering much needed rest and recreation from the hustle and bustle of urban living. In recent years, people from Iloilo embark on a leisurely trip to Guimaras on board speedboats and jet skis.
