Iloilo is a picturesque province. It comprises about 344,744.17 hectares of agricultural land with the 42 towns and a component city, marked by a series of expansive rice-fields partially-hidden among towering mountains.
The natural landscape especially in the central part of the province is a popular farm destination. Combined with attractions of the wild, mountainous areas with lush vegetation, and a backdrop of sun-drenched hills, it forms Iloilo's leading holiday areas with a host of smaller places of interests such as inland resorts, camping sites, conservation areas, orchards, add to Iloilo's appeal.
