Backpacking in Guimaras (9 Stunning Tourist Spots)

The Province of Guimaras will definitely be brought up on the topic when we talk about mangoes because they are said to have the “Sweetest Mango in the Philippines.” With that, their local delicacies, with mango, are just mouth-watering. Aside from that, the residents must be proud of their breathtaking and stunning tourist destinations, such as beaches, historical sites, and other activities. They also have the Manggahan Festival, an annual festivity to thank them for their bountiful mango harvest. It is a small island province that can be visited for the whole day, but it can offer a lot to visitors.

San Lorenzo Wind Farm (Guimaras Windmills)

My last destination was Guimaras Windfarm, with 27 gigantic wind turbines that harness electricity from the wind. The sea surrounds the island, so it’s a perfect location for renewable energy because of its breeze. According to Kuya Ken, the harnessed energy is transported to Ilo-Ilo City via cables submerged in the water. There’s a registration, but no entrance fee. We also discussed the proposed bridge connecting Guimaras to Iloilo; however, it was rejected because it could damage living underwater creatures. By the way, Bangui Windmills is the most prominent wind farm in the Philippines, and it has attracted a lot of tourists to Ilocos Norte. Just recently, I featured the Pililla Windfarm in Rizal. READ: SOLO-BACKPACKING IN CAPIZ, ANTIQUE, GUIMARAS, ILO-ILO
