For the adventurers and the nature lovers,
      
     For travelers who love to commune with nature, a trip to Barbaza town will never be a disappointment. The place has so many beautiful beaches, stunning falls and interesting caves to explore and most of all, there are services and facilities available to complement your trip.

Barbaza is where you can find Mt. Nangtud. With its towering elevation of 2,080 meters, this mountain is considered to be the highest peak in all of Panay Island. It’s definitely perfect for trekking and hiking. It’s also in this mountain where you can find the interesting “uruy” flower or in scientific term, Rafflesia Speciosa, the biggest flower in the whole world.

Awesome Macalbag Falls

The falls will be a delight to adventurers, too, especially the 15-meter Macalbag falls in Baranggay Mablad  that has many unexplored caves. You can also go into the popular Seven-Room Cave, also in Macalbag falls. Lolita Falls in Barangay Cadiao is also another option for those who love waterfalls.

Being located in the east of Sulu Sea, Barbaza also boasts of gorgeous beaches. You can also go to the Batabat Coral Reef where you can enjoy diving and snorkeling to see a massive array of colorful distinct coral formations and tropical fishes. The reef is 1 kilometer away from the shore and takes a 20-minute trip aboard a pump boat.
