But before we talk about this next stop, let\u2019s get to know this next town a bit better, shall we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Miagao is a municipality that\u2019s a 40-minute drive from Iloilo City. Its crowning jewel is the Santo Tomas de Villanueva Parish Church\u2014a UNESCO World Heritage Site that\u2019s one of the four Baroque Churches in the country. The town\u2019s also dubbed the \u201cOnion Capital of the Visayas\u201d because of its status as the largest bulb onion producer in the Vis-Min (Visayas-Mindanao) area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from history, Miagao\u2019s also rich in Mother Nature. Bugsukan Falls is one example of such. The falls are an hour away from the town proper and require a lot of effort on tourists\u2019 ends. The falls should greet people after an hour or two of hiking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you and your boo plan to refresh yourselves here, make sure you have a seasoned guide with you.

As we mentioned earlier, Iloilo\u2019s a great place for history buffs\u2014and this town doesn\u2019t disappoint in that department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The municipality of Guimbal is an hour away from Iloilo City. The town is as timeless as it comes because of the colonial structures still standing to this day. One example of such structure is Guimbal Church (pictured above), one of the country\u2019s oldest churches. Other marvels include the Moro Watchtowers, the Ayaw-Ayaw Monument, and Taytay Tigre. Even the iconic Guimbal Steel Bridge (Western Visayas\u2019s longest steel bridge, by the way!) is a piece of history!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>4. Explore Igbaras\u2019s natural wonders<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"HIKING PARADISE OF ILOILO | Mt.

Let\u2019s set our sights on this town that attracts nature lovers everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you and your lover the outdoorsy types? Igbaras is calling your names! Caves, waterfalls, and mountains surround this municipality. With ecotourism as its calling card, you two will definitely have a good time with Mother Nature abound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If hiking is your thing, Mount Napulak is your best bet. The 1,239-meter tall mountain is the town\u2019s highest, offering stunning views of Iloilo Province and neighboring Antique. Its forests remained untouched despite many hikers and trekkers setting foot to climb its peak.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to go swimming with your babe? Nadsadjan Falls may tickle your fancy. The falls itself is a 100-feet high natural masterpiece, with the water pooling in a cauldron-shaped formation. Many local and foreign tourists stop and take a dip while admiring its beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want something a bit extreme? Try caving! Lucky for both of you, Igbaras has a variety of them. Visit the famous Igcabugao Cave and marvel at its formations while enjoying a cold bath in its waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>5.

Aside from mountains and caves, Iloilo has tons of beaches that you and your partner can enjoy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to go on a far-off exploration? Soak up the sun in spots like Islas de Gigantes (pictured above) up north. It\u2019s one of the province\u2019s sought-after stops due to its white sand and delicious fresh catches. Getting to the islands can take quite a while as it\u2019s 5 to 6 hours away from Iloilo City via land and ferry trips. As long as the travel time is, the views that\u2019ll greet you will be worth the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t want to stray too far from the mainland? That\u2019s okay. You can always head down south to San Joaquin to get your beach fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>6.

Why not do something a little more spiritual and reflective instead? Iloilo has many churches that withstood the test of time. We\u2019ve mentioned a few of them earlier in case you want to visit them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think you can\u2019t get in a reflective mood in the city? Iloilo City\u2019s majestic churches don\u2019t seem to think so. Get in touch with your spirituality at Jaro Cathedral (pictured above), or take time to ponder inside the equally historic Molo Church. These two institutions are easily accessible since they\u2019re within city limits. Other Iloilo City churches include the Santo Ni\u00f1o de Arevalo Church, the Espousal of Our Lady Parish Church, Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage Church, and the San Jose de Placer Church.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Addresses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong><strong>Jaro Cathedral: <\/strong>Plaza Rizal Street, Jaro, Iloilo City<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Molo Church: <\/strong>132 San Pedro Street, Molo, Iloilo City<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Santo Ni\u00f1o de Arevalo Church: <\/strong>Arroyo Street, Arevalo, Iloilo City<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Espousal of Our Lady Parish Church: <\/strong>C.F.

Its seven districts have something for everyone, from sights to bites (we\u2019ll expound on the latter part later). Pictured here is the Festive Walk Parade, a colorful segment of the city\u2019s Megaworld Iloilo Business Park\u2014Western Visayas\u2019s biggest mixed-use development.

Turn back the clock and take a photo walk<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As highly urbanized as it is, Iloilo City wouldn\u2019t be what it is without its old-world charm. Spanish and Commonwealth era buildings are the most picturesque areas of the city proper, while classical houses (more on this part later) and churches are must-sees in the other districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you two have the time (and energy), grab your cameras or phones and take a snapshot or two of the city\u2019s scenic streets! Calle Real (pictured above) is one of the city\u2019s most photographed places because of its iconic architecture. Take a cue from the photo and just click-clack away!

For a more authentic experience, sit down and have a bowl or two at La Paz market. We also recommend chowing down on Pancit Molo, a hearty dumpling soup named after the Molo district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want some sweets? Not a problem! <em>Barquillos<\/em> (thinly rolled cookies) are a must-try in the Jaro district, so go ahead and eat a few sticks after a hearty meal. <em>Biscochos <\/em>(sugar-coated twice-baked bread) have been capturing Illongos\u2019 hearts and stomachs since 1975, so don\u2019t forget to buy some for your loved ones!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you looking for a place to have a dinner date in Iloilo? Worry not! The City of Love has tons of offerings for you both. Feel free to dine in beloved institutions like The Mango Tree or Breakthrough, or go for somewhere fancy like Muelle Deli and Restaurant or Amalfi Cucina Italiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>10.

As we mentioned earlier, Iloilo\u2019s a great place for history buffs\u2014and this town doesn\u2019t disappoint in that department. The municipality of Guimbal is an hour away from Iloilo City. The town is as timeless as it comes because of the colonial structures still standing to this day. One example of such structure is Guimbal Church (pictured above), one of the country\u2019s oldest churches. Other marvels include the Moro Watchtowers, the Ayaw-Ayaw Monument, and Taytay Tigre. Even the iconic Guimbal Steel Bridge (Western Visayas\u2019s longest steel bridge, by the way!) is a piece of history! 4. Explore Igbaras\u2019s natural wonders Patches of green are aplenty in this next stop. Let\u2019s set our sights on this town that attracts nature lovers everywhere. Are you and your lover the outdoorsy types? Igbaras is calling your names! Caves, waterfalls, and mountains surround this municipality. With ecotourism as its calling card, you two will definitely have a good time with Mother Nature abound. If hiking is your thing, Mount Napulak is your best bet. The 1,239-meter tall mountain is the town\u2019s highest, offering stunning views of Iloilo Province and neighboring Antique. Its forests remained untouched despite many hikers and trekkers setting foot to climb its peak.&nbsp; Want to go swimming with your babe? Nadsadjan Falls may tickle your fancy. The falls itself is a 100-feet high natural masterpiece, with the water pooling in a cauldron-shaped formation. Many local and foreign tourists stop and take a dip while admiring its beauty. Want something a bit extreme? Try caving! Lucky for both of you, Igbaras has a variety of them. Visit the famous Igcabugao Cave and marvel at its formations while enjoying a cold bath in its waters. 5. Embark on sunny and sandy escapades Mother Nature\u2019s beauty doesn\u2019t stop at green patches and rock formations. Aside from mountains and caves, Iloilo has tons of beaches that you and your partner can enjoy.&nbsp; Want to go on a far-off exploration? Soak up the sun in spots like Islas de Gigantes (pictured above) up north. It\u2019s one of the province\u2019s sought-after stops due to its white sand and delicious fresh catches. Getting to the islands can take quite a while as it\u2019s 5 to 6 hours away from Iloilo City via land and ferry trips. As long as the travel time is, the views that\u2019ll greet you will be worth the trip. Don\u2019t want to stray too far from the mainland? That\u2019s okay. You can always head down south to San Joaquin to get your beach fix. 6. Take a church tour After all the hiking and swimming, we\u2019re sure that you want to slip in something more low-key on your list. Why not do something a little more spiritual and reflective instead? Iloilo has many churches that withstood the test of time. We\u2019ve mentioned a few of them earlier in case you want to visit them.&nbsp; Think you can\u2019t get in a reflective mood in the city? Iloilo City\u2019s majestic churches don\u2019t seem to think so. Get in touch with your spirituality at Jaro Cathedral (pictured above), or take time to ponder inside the equally historic Molo Church. These two institutions are easily accessible since they\u2019re within city limits. Other Iloilo City churches include the Santo Ni\u00f1o de Arevalo Church, the Espousal of Our Lady Parish Church, Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage Church, and the San Jose de Placer Church.&nbsp; Addresses &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Jaro Cathedral: Plaza Rizal Street, Jaro, Iloilo City &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Molo Church: 132 San Pedro Street, Molo, Iloilo City &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Santo Ni\u00f1o de Arevalo Church: Arroyo Street, Arevalo, Iloilo City &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Espousal of Our Lady Parish Church: C.F. Perfecto Street, Mandurriao, Iloilo City &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage Church: Jereos Street, La Paz, Iloilo City \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 San Jose de Placer Church: 5000 Calasanz Street, Iloilo City Proper, Iloilo City 7. Enjoy the city&#8217;s sights and sounds Now that you two have explored the province, how about enjoying yourselves in the city?&nbsp; Iloilo City is no snooze fest. Its seven districts have something for everyone, from sights to bites (we\u2019ll expound on the latter part later). Pictured here is the Festive Walk Parade, a colorful segment of the city\u2019s Megaworld Iloilo Business Park\u2014Western Visayas\u2019s biggest mixed-use development. This bright section houses retail and dining establishments that locals and tourists alike can enjoy.\u00a0 Want a more low-key affair? You and your boo can stroll down the Iloilo River Esplanade. Here\u2019s a bit of trivia for you: it is the Philippines\u2019 longest linear park, spanning 8.1 kilometers and traversing 5 of the city\u2019s seven districts.\u00a0 8. Turn back the clock and take a photo walk As highly urbanized as it is, Iloilo City wouldn\u2019t be what it is without its old-world charm. Spanish and Commonwealth era buildings are the most picturesque areas of the city proper, while classical houses (more on this part later) and churches are must-sees in the other districts. If you two have the time (and energy), grab your cameras or phones and take a snapshot or two of the city\u2019s scenic streets! Calle Real (pictured above) is one of the city\u2019s most photographed places because of its iconic architecture. Take a cue from the photo and just click-clack away! Feel free to use it as a keepsake or share it on social media for your friends to see. 9. Savor the flavors Exploring a city wouldn\u2019t be complete without trying its best food! Iloilo has more than enough bites to keep any hungry tummy satisfied. Don\u2019t leave Iloilo without trying batchoy, a noodle soup born in the capital city\u2019s La Paz district. For a more authentic experience, sit down and have a bowl or two at La Paz market. We also recommend chowing down on Pancit Molo, a hearty dumpling soup named after the Molo district. Want some sweets? Not a problem! Barquillos (thinly rolled cookies) are a must-try in the Jaro district, so go ahead and eat a few sticks after a hearty meal. Biscochos (sugar-coated twice-baked bread) have been capturing Illongos\u2019 hearts and stomachs since 1975, so don\u2019t forget to buy some for your loved ones! Are you looking for a place to have a dinner date in Iloilo? Worry not! The City of Love has tons of offerings for you both. Feel free to dine in beloved institutions like The Mango Tree or Breakthrough, or go for somewhere fancy like Muelle Deli and Restaurant or Amalfi Cucina Italiana. 10. Tour the city&#8217;s heritage houses Iloilo City is one of the country\u2019s oldest. It\u2019s no surprise that it retains its old-school wonder despite its hustle and bustle. The city\u2019s heritage houses are proof of that. There\u2019s no specific order when starting your heritage house tour. If you see one, go ahead and enter (with permission, of course)! You can start off by visiting the Arevalo district\u2019s Cami\u00f1a Balay nga Bato (pictured above). Head off to Molo afterward to see the Molo Mansion and the Rosendo Mejica Museum.&nbsp; When you\u2019re done in Molo, make your way to the Jaro district. From there, you can visit Nelly\u2019s Garden, the Lizares Mansion, Ledesma Mansion, and Casa Mariquit. If you\u2019re wondering where the best date places in Iloilo are, this list should cover all the stops.
