Guimaras is the youngest and smallest of the six provinces comprising the Western Visayas ( Region VI ).
The island province is subdivided into five (5) municipalities, with a total of 98 barangays represented as a lone congressional district. The seat of the provincial government is at the capital town of Jordan.
Guimaras, lying midway between the islands of Panay and Negros, is considered one of the exotic islands in the Philippines. Blessed with beautiful sceneries and untouched beaches, the province delights the water-sports enthusiast.
Nueva Valencia abounds with white sand beaches, colored corals, fish, and rare red shrimps in Tiniguiban Island. There are also areas for spear fishing, scuba diving and snorkeling.
In Buenavista, the Daliran Spring and Cave, Siete Pecados, Roca Encantada, and Pungkok Beach are simply irresistible.
