Western Visayas is home to historical sites, delectable culinary treats, and huge agricultural land area—all of which can be experienced at the Fly-Drive Caravan in Iloilo and Guimaras on Aug. 23-26.

The Fly-Drive Caravan in Iloilo and Guimaras will bring visitors to St. Anne Parish Church, a Spanish-colonial church in Molo, Iloilo. 

With the theme “A Culinary, Heritage, and Farm Expedition,” the four-day tour, organized by the Automobile Association Philippines, will visit well-loved historic spots of Iloilo City and tourist destinations in Guimaras.  

According to AAP director Mina Gabor, the caravan is a series of road tour packages put together by the AAP to rediscover the charming rural sceneries across the archipelago.
