Visit a UNESCO World Heritage Site
Part of the Baroque Churches of the Philippines, Miagao Church in Iloilo has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its history and ornately decorated facede. Completed in 1797, the church was built with thick walls to serve as protection from the Moro invaders. Although it has been severely damaged by natural disasters, it has been resored several times with its structure standing strong today.
Go Hiking at Bucari Pine Forest
Known as Iloilo’s “Little Baguio”, Bucari in the town of Leon offers a shift from the usual warm, sunny climate of the province. The colder weather and highland attractions, make this place a popular among tourists. Especially those looking for an adventure. Hike and bike trails are available in the area, and the views from the top are worth the trek up!
Visit Iloilo’s Heritage Site
In between food trips, visit treasured historical sites scattered over different districts in the city. Walk the streets of Iloilo City Proper to find recently restored heritage buildings along Calle Real, the city’s old central business disctrict, and other corners of the downtown area like Plaza Libertad, and the Iloilo Provincial Capitol grounds. Head over the disctricts of Jaro and Molo to visit centuries-old churches and the city’s grandest ancestral houses that have survived the test of time. To start, take a tour of the Jaro Cathedral, Lizares Mansion, Casa Mariquit, Molo Church, and Bahay Camina ng Bato.
Walk along the Iloilo River Esplanade
Peaceful riverside views can be found along the Iloilo River Esplanade, a testament of the city’s desire to provide breathing spaces on its path to rapid urban development. The best time to start your leisurely walk along this landscaped promedane is during late afternoons to catch the beautiful sunset view.
