Looking for some fun and adventure over the weekend, you must try to dip in a warm big “KAWA” do relax and enjoy the overlooking view. Tibiao Antique is easily accessible by land from any point in Panay, since it is just a few hours away from travel gateways such as Iloilo, Kalibo and Boracay.
Kawa Hot Bath
Enjoy a unique experience in Tibiao by bathing in a hot Kawa (large frying pan), just like a Jacuzzi. This unique kawa hot bath will surely relieve the stresses in your body for only 200.00 per 30 minutes.
I would suggest that spend at least an overnight stay and do things that locals doing, you will know the experience of life that far from the crowded and noisy city. They will pass go through the wide river for the sake of buying some food to eat and their daily needs.
