What an amazing day we had visiting Garinfarm Pilgrimage in San Joaquin, Iloilo!!
It's not just a place for deep reflection,, it’s packed with fun activities for the whole family, too..
As soon as we arrived,, the first thing that caught our eye was the impressive welcome arch..
It says "Garin Farm Pilgrimage: A Journey from Creation to Ascension."
 |  |
This sets the tone for the entire experience..
After the entrance,, the first part feels like a cool farm resort..
We saw beautiful white villas sitting on a green hill overlooking a clear blue swimming pool and a nice little lake..
We even spotted some charming white doves sitting on the fences, enjoying the view just like us!!
It was the perfect spot to take photos of the bright pink flowers blooming everywhere..
We headed down to the lake where you can rent boats!!
It was so much fun paddling around on the water..
These two best friends were enjoying themselves on a paddleboat, just grinning from ear to ear, clearly having the best time..
But the real adventure begins when you decide to take the pilgrimage route..
You have to climb a long staircase!! 😁
Trust me, it’s a workout!!
 |  |  |
Looking down the stairs, you can see people walking up and down, shaded by tall trees on both sides..
Even the kids were energized and running up the steps, eager to reach the top..
Once you make it up all those steps, you are treated to magnificent white statues that represent scenes from the Bible,, set against a backdrop of a giant cross..
 |  |
The statues, especially the one of Jesus, were beautifully done, with serene blue eyes, looking out over the landscape..
It was breathtaking.
The highlight, though, is the place called the "Heaven" part..
You walk through a dark,, arched tunnel and then you see a brilliant and shining light that forms the silhouette of Jesus..
It's truly a special and moving sight,, making you feel like you’ve reached the end of the journey..
Before we left, we stopped by the petting area..
We saw a lot of friendly sheep and goats!!

The children loved feeding them and getting up close..
It’s a wonderful place that combines spiritual reflection with a fun farm-style resort experience..
If you're ever in Iloilo and looking for a place that offers both peace and adventure,, Garinfarm is a must-visit!!
That's enough adventure for now.. I hope everyone is having a peaceful and lovely day.. 🌞
