Peaceful Life of Aetas in Nagpana Falls


Iloilo's progress and beautiful places attract many tourists, but there are still remote natural wonders waiting to be explored. The province's indigenous communities are also preserved and the indigenous people are still living their slower-paced lifestyle in the remote rural areas in Iloilo.


Sitio Nagpana, Barangay Lipata, Barotac Viejo is 70 km away from Iloilo City and 8 km away from the town proper of Barotac Viejo. The Indigenous people living in Nagpana are called ''Aetas" or "Ati". They make handicrafts such wallets, hats, cellphone cases and other products made of nito vine for living.










TRAVEL GUIDE
  • Ride a Barotac Viejo-bound Ceres bus at Tagbak Jaro Terminal ( Php 57 )
  • Get off the bus at Barotac Viejo Public Market
  • Rent a Motorcycle (Php50/head) or Tricycle (Php20-30) going to Nagpana Falls
TRAVEL TIP
  • Reach Nagpana Falls as early as you can because there are no resorts or hotels near the area. 
  • Bring your own baon hehe
  • Please buy some of their handicraft products at their small coffee factory 
  • Prepare your butts for rough roads.
