As summer comes to an end, I’m looking back at this summer’s adventures driving a full circle around Panay Island where I got to play tourist in my hometown, explored to new areas, did new things and revisited old favorites. Panay Island is composed of 4 provinces namely Iloilo, Capiz, Aklan and Antique. Although Panay is popularly known as the gateway to Boracay, the country’s premier beach destination, less known to many is that this island itself is home to many stunning beaches, rivers, mountains & forest to which some remained untouched and hidden. It is also a region rich in culture and history. Sometimes I have a feeling that I have underestimated the beauty of what Panay Island can offer that is why I was glad to have the chance to explore the wealth of attractions and cultural heritage of the island last summer.
