What to do in Tibiao

When in Tibiao, Antique

There a number of things you can do when you caught youself in Tibiao. 

* Ride habal-habal (motorcycle) if you want to go around places although public transport like buses and jeepneys are available.  Just hail one and hop in. 

* Visit the Tourism Office to check out the activities that you can do. :)  And don't forget to interact with locals.  It's fun and educational. 

*Go trekking towards the waterfalls, Bugtong waterfalls that is. 

* Be mesmerized by the rice terraces as you head towards the waterfalls. 

*Cross over the bamboo / wooden bridge. 

*Spot carabaos grazing around.  (Carabao, by the way, is the Philippine's National Animal which is a swamp-type domestic water buffalo) 

*Take in and dip the magnificent waterfalls of Bugtong. 

*Head on and indulge yourself in an adrenaline rush adventure, whitewater river kayaking. 

*Take a plunge into the river. 

*Relax your sore muscle from the day's activities by immersing yourself in a warm kawa bath. 

*Appreciate Tibiao River as rain pours. 

We were stuck at one of the nipa huts after our hot bath in the kawa because of the rain.  So instead of rambling around, we approached the "balcony" of the cabin and watched the water gush along the river as the raindrops fall.   

How did we get here:

From Culasi to Tibiao

     Ride a bus plying to Iloilo, alight at Baranggay Importante (or you can ask the conductor to drop you off where the Kawa Bath is famous); the travel time is like more or less an hour.
