Side trip to Guimaras Island! Mango Capital of the Philippines

Guimaras is an island province in the Philippines located in the Western Visayas region. It's capital is Jordan. The most accessible to the northwest is the province of Iloilo. From Iloilo City harbor (Ortiz wharf), you will take a 15 minute pump boat ride going to Jordan Wharf, Guimaras which is the main port of entry.

Known as the Mango Capital of the Philippines, you can spend your sweetest days in the island life. Guimaras and its people have been sharing the sweetest fruit of the island for decades.

Their white sand is also enticing! You will enjoy the unlimited sea. You can check for the best beach resort for your stay if you wish.

Guimaras Island has 8,000 hectares of mango orchards managed by corporations and individual growers.

Oh baby please don't ever leave the island without trying their one of a kind mouth-watering "Mango Pizza". One of the best i have tasted so far.

Well, if you want to bring sweetness overload going home hop in to one of best Pasalubong Center of the Island, Trappist. It is a gift shop that sells what many consider are the best among Guimaras' products-aside from fresh mangoes. They have mango-flavored Otap, piaya, barquillos, pastry bars and many more.

I hope for another side trip here!
