Located an hour and a half about San Joaquin from Iloilo City, Garin Farm is located in a place of fresh air and peace. The place is actually a functional farm that showcases agricultural practices and houses various livestock and crops. Their produce are sold on site, served in their restaurant and supplied to different buyers.

More than its agricultural features, Garin Farm also boasts of its recreational facilities and activities such as zip line, swimming pool, buggy car, kayaking, fishing, and whatnot. But the highlight of the place is the Pilgrimage Hill with 456-step stairs that features nine major biblical scenes including the Nativity or the Birth of Jesus, Baptism of Christ, the Last Supper, and the Agony in the Garden, among others. What makes this hill special is that everything from the statues, crosses, gates, etc. has a pure white color, like you have set foot in a real heaven.

To get to this replica of heaven, one must pass a a dark tunnel until you reach the all-white end. Don’t forget to wear your shades specially at noon and broad daylight as the experience can be hurtful to the eyes.

Entrance fee is P150 per person (discount applies to senior citizen, kids and persons with disabilities) which gives you free access to the farm and pilgrimage hill. There are separate charges for use of other facilities. Outside food is strictly not allowed. Fully furnished rooms are also available to serve guests who want to stay overnight here.
