Garin Farm is a popular pilgrimage site and tourist destination in San Joaquin, Iloilo. Located at around 50 kilometers away from Iloilo City, it is a great place to relax, retreat, and meditate, as well as to bring yourself closer to nature and to our Creator. One of it's popular attractions is the "PILGRIMAGE: A Journey from Creation to Ascension,". For this, you will climb a hill where you will see many statues depicting different biblical events. The highlight of the Garin Pilgrimage Site is the huge cross on top and the Dark Meditation Tunnel that will lead you to the "heaven-like" installation with many angels, saints and the holy trinity at the center.

ReplyDeletehow can we go garin farm if we are in bacolod
ReplyDeleteJust passing by this page, but I go to and fro Ilo and Bacolod several times. Ride a ferry from Bacolod to Iloilo pier po.(oceanjet/fastcat)
DeleteFrom the pier, you have 2 options:
1.) You can ride a taxi to Molo Terminal.(i suggest this if youre going with middle aged adults or older)
2.) Ride a jeep from pier, ask the driver to drop you near the capitol where you can ride a jeep going to "Villa". Ride a jeep on the "Villa route" and ask driver to drop you at Molo Terminal.
Then read the rest of the directions in this post. �� I kept it short, u can look up on the internet regarding fares or travel time.
