Antique

During our stay, we left Boracay for three days to explore some parts of Antique, a region on the main Land south of Boracay. We were able to borrow Oli's motorbike, so we started early in the morning to head south towards Tibiao 🏍️

The region is so beautiful with the sea on the one side and the mountain range on the other - a perfect combination!

After spending the night in Tibiao and trying some Lomi and Pancit Canton, we decided to visit Bugtong Baton Falls and the Calawag Mountain Resort 🏕️
Our tour guide to the waterfalls was a lady from the local village, always smiling and a badass woman hiking up the waterfalls in her slippers. We were kind of impressed 🫡 After swimming in the natural pools and hanging out with the local kids, we made our way back to the Calawag Mountain Resort.
Here, you're able to hang out by the river, have a picnic, go tubing or experience a kawa bath 🏞️

We were invited by a local group of friends to hang out with them. We had a picnic together, some rum and nice chats. In the evening, we were "cooked" in a beer and coffee bath. It was such a nice day 🥰

The next day, we followed the locals' recommendations and went to Malumpati, a cold natural spring in Pandan. We swam in the river, went tubing and enjoyed our day outside before heading back to Boracay 🏍️

Our short trip to Antique was so nice. It's not a typical tourist destination, so it was nice to see another side of the Philippines and explore that region for a bit 😊Read more
