This is my first visit in Bucari, i heard alot of beautiful stories about this place. They said it is called the "Iloilo's Little Baguio" because of the cold temperature of the place and I must say indeed it is. The tall and beautiful pines welcomes us. This is a very nice place to relax, unwind and commune with nature. They have cottages and a multi-purpose hall, they have public comfort rooms and showers. The way to Mt. Mansiga steps is refreshing and you can have the way of the cross going to the top. Listening to the sounds created by the birds and the wind is so calming added to it is the beautiful view and the mountain dew. The tiredness going to the top is worth it, the scenery, the view of the roads, the clouds and fogs are breath taking. It is indeed a tourist spot worth visiting and something to be proud of. Kudos to the people behind in developing, maintaining this beautiful place....

It's such an amazing forest ,pine trees sceneries in the hilly portion of Leon municipality, province of Iloilo, Western Visayas, Region 6. During our visit here, still rough roads, a bit scary. Rented habal-habal (600pesos2way )from the town proper of Leon. An hour or less or more ( depends on the driver) travel time from the town.

There's a daily doubled tired jeepney trip here but you have to wait patiently until it is full upto the roof . Cheaper fare of course.

As of writing, May 2022, it is now fully a developed tourist spot. Roads cemented already thru the efforts of the late congressman Arcadio Gorriceta. A more comfortable, safer , faster and enjoyable ride.

A pilgrimage site during holy week, stations of the cross .

A lot of local and outsiders flocked here mostly during this month- summer. It is the little baguio( summer capital) of Iloilo province.

There's a camping ,...
