About
Sibalom Natural Park is a 5,511.47-hectare (13,619.1-acre) protected area in the Philippines on the island of Panay
The park has a mild montane forest, a lowland forest, some bushland and open cogon or grassland.[2] Its riverbeds contain semi-precious gemstones such as agate, jasper and onyx.[5]
About 5,000 hectares of forest in Sibalom from Mount Porras extending to Mount Igmatindog, covers Sibalom River and its tributaries. Of this forest, 672 hectares are undisturbed by any human activity while about 4,223 hectares constitutes the 50-year-old reforestation site
One of the main highlights is the large flower Rafflesia speciosa, discovered in Mount Porras and surrounding barangays in 2002[6]
The Philippine dipterocarp trees such as white lauan and apitong, and fruit trees such as antipolo and malapaho are found in the forests of Sibalom. The globally endangered giant flower, the Rafflesia speciosa, also blooms in the park.

Itinerary
- Fenete St, Sibalom, Antique, PhilippinesFenete Street
- 1Mt. Porras drank up the passing rain as we ascended its flanks to find southern Antique’s famous but uncanny inhabitant. Declared a protected area in 2000, Sibalom Natural Park in Panay Island is a lush watershed that harbors unique species of plants and animals. Despite being rather immobile, our target proved to be highly elusive. Having negotiated rivers and steep forest slopes, we finally found one of the most fascinating plants in the world, Rafflesia speciosa.
About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- J631GVmichaelr0 contributionsAre they in the tourist business?I did not get to do this trip as the tour company could/would not answer my simple questions on - line and on WhatsApp. My questions were 1) want is the start point of this tour? 2) How do I get from my hotel in Iloilo to this start point? Simple questions, unanswered, so I cancelled. If they can not, answer these two questions I doubt their ability to run a tour. Note, still no reply from the tour company! 😩😩😩🤷Written April 21, 2024
- marizone20150 contributionsHome Away from HomeOn February 28, 2020 my college classmates-friends with our families arrived in Iloilo. Our tour guide, Anton of Amazing Package Travel, picked us up at the airport. We went ahead of our Iloilo City tour. First stop is the Miagao Cathedral, a baroque fortress church founded in 1791 and a UNESCO heritage. We had lunch then proceeded to Garin Pilgrimage Farm, a picturesquely place to contemplate. They room accommodation, too. Best time to visit is in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat of the sun. Our tour covered the beautiful old cathedrals, mansions, streets and the contrasting new developed commercial locations like the Festive Walk. We also bought the Iloilo delicacies and ate the well-know Batchoy. I live in Manila but I love Iloilo’s discipline and cleanliness. I will surely come back.Written March 9, 2020
