The coral-rich islands of Dimadimalangat, Aniao and Lukso-Lukso lie just off the coast.

History
The town of Baler was founded in 1609. Its original name was Kinagunasan and its first inhabitants were the Angara, Bitong, Carrasco and Lumasac families.

In December 1735, a tidal wave struck and completely engulfed Kinagunasan. The wave struck the town without warning at 2 a.m., and within an hour the entire town was gone. The parish priest of Casiguran, who was then visiting Baler, managed to survive by swimming to the hill of Point Baja. Other survivors included the families of Angara and Bitong. The sudden onslaught of the wave and the fact that the nearby towns of Casiguran, Dipaculao and Dingalan were left untouched has turned the catastrophe into a folk legend of biblical proportions.

No wonder they call it. This local destination is in Barangay San Luis takes around 30-40 minutes ride from Sabang Beach, plus 15-30 minutes hike. The water falls is not as grand (as in size) as Maria Christina Falls, but it is as magnificent. 

There is something in the air. Some welcoming fog that allows you to breathe in all the fume of nature. Stone Bolders, peebles, cement pavement and trees are covered with moss. A sign of clean air. Clean air is such an under rated term for the place.

 

Lukso-lukso Islet

Lukso-lukso is that stone formation you can see from Sabang Beach. It is a small vocanic rock hills. Stones are round which actually allows you to jump from one stone to another.

Aniao Islet

Compared to Lukso-lukso, Aniao is made of sharp rocks. There is also a small beside the volcanic rock formation. The small pool is child-friendly. Clean and not too deep.

ATI-ATIHAN FESTIVAL 2018

Ati-Atihan Festival 2018
held on January 15, 2018
Kalibo, Aklan, Philippines

Ati-Atihan is the country’s most spectacular festival for lovers of mardi gras. This event’s history can be traced back to early Borneo settlers.

Mardi gras typically refers to the series of feasts that kick off after the Epiphany, and whose culmination is marked one day prior to the celebration of Ash Wednesday. The festival is marked by feasting and indulging in delicacies and rich foods.

The Ati-atihan 2018 kicks off with mass held to celebrate Santo Niño before the event paves the way for procession. During the opening mass, emphasis is placed on the religious aspect of the event. The procession on the other hand, introduces the traditional aspects of the local people.

The Filipino version of this event is marked yearly in January as a way to honour Santo Nino. The latter is to the locals, a representation of the baby Jesus. Some of the events that mark Kalibo Ati-Atihan include traditional dances, vibrant music as well as an array of colourful costumes. Occasionally, traditional weapons are included as part of the festivities.

The most intriguing bit of this festival is that it attracts both devout locals and non-religious folks, making it an open invitation for visitors who would like to immerse in Philippine’s culture. The promoters of the festival capture its essence in a surreal manner, stating that the event is an eclectic mix of Catholic practice, cultural performances and a prominent tourist attraction.

Hala Bira! Pwera Pasma!

The festivals to mark this event last a week, from the crack of dawn to the setting of the sun each day, allowing visitors ample time to indulge in one of Philippines’ most eccentric festivals. The culmination of this event is held on the third Sunday of January, a must-attend for anyone who is enthralled by Philippines’ rich culture.

Kalibo Ati-Atihan is an eye-opening experience, whether you are a first-time visitor to the Philippines, or have been lucky to travel to the country previously. Truly, it is more fun in the Philippines!

What is interesting to note is that the Ati-atihan Festival 2018 is observed by both Christians and non-Christians. The Ati-atihan has since created a spin-off of events such as the Sinulog Festival in Cebu and the popular Dinagyang of Iloilo City. Little wonder this festival is referred to as the ‘Mother of All Festivals’.

Join the exhilarating fun of Ati-atihan Festival 2018 in Kalibo Aklan and experience one of the country’s grandest religious spectacle magnified by culture and ethnic traditions to its finest. We carefully and meticulously searched for appropriate hotels near the event in order to suggest and give you the most accurate accommodation options during the Ati-atihan 2018.
