Want to know more about Boracay and Panay in a short period of time? Pull away from the white sandy beaches of Boracay and immerse into the amazing world of Panay island. You will get acquainted with the local culture, customs, traditional life in the Philippine village located high in the mountains along the beautiful trails of lush forest. 

Tour includes: caving, swimming in exotic waterfalls, hot pot Jacuzzi on an open fire and tasting the local drink - coconut wine “lambanog”.

ITINERARY:

Caves. Explore the beauty of Philippine caves and nature. Here, the Guests could choose
among the 2 caves in the Hacienda. Each cave is unique and varies in size, deepness, beauty and complexity. 

The 1st cave is recommended for kids, older tourists or regular tourists who prefer easy way in and out of the cave. 

The second cave is recommended for tourists who prefer a more complex path. 


Both caves have beautiful white sparkling stalagmites and stalactites. 

Must see are: dragon hall, hall of the frozen waterfalls, head of St. Peter and tunnel of love.















Hot Pot Jacuzzi. What an exotic way to soak in a big pot on an open fire! The water 

temperature in the pot is regulated to make it pleasantly warm and just the right temperature to soothe tired feet and muscles. 

This bath cum spa procedure helps relieve muscle pains, promotes good blood circulation, skin hydration and body detoxification. 








Trek to the Waterfalls This is not just an ordinary trek. The pathway passes to a group of native huts made of bamboo and palm leaves – the traditional Philippine house. 
Here, guests are greeted by young men and women wearing traditional costumes. 

Guests are free to explore the huts and their interior to know how typical families live in the village. 

The path also passes through neatly lined orchards of fruit bearing trees, vegetables and flowering plants which are endemic to the Philippines. The path leads to the beautiful cascading waterfalls.




Traditional coconut wine production (lambanog). The Philippines has vast coconut plantations and therefore one of our top export products is coconut. 


The coconut tree, dubbed as the tree of life has many uses from roots to the leaves. One of which is the coconut wine. Here, the Guests will see the process of making this wine, from sorting and gathering the right age of coconuts, distilling the juices and packaging of finish products. 

And certainly, the most awaited part is that Guests are free to taste the different flavors of this wine: original, bubblegum,
pineapple, wild berries and more.

Aside from wine, Guests could also buy here other native products made of coconuts, local fruits and native delicacies.


Lunch. Just imagine yourself having sumptuous lunch with the breath-taking sight of the



waterfalls on the background and relaxing sound of gushing water soothing your feet as toast to a memorable experience with Philippine nature, rich culture, unique traditions and friendly smiles of Filipinos.



Lunch includes Philippine traditional food, drinks and desserts served on tables made of bamboo.
