Garin Farm

Garin Farm is a 14-hectare integrated farm, leisure and pilgrimage resort in Brgy. San Andres, San Joaquin, Iloilo, about 50 km southwest of Iloilo City. Developed by the Garin family, it combines agriculture, recreation and a Christian pilgrimage hill. It is notable for its 456-step Pilgrimage Hill featuring life-size biblical dioramas from Creation to Ascension and the white cross-capped Heaven on Earth hilltop.

Visitors can expect a large inland farm resort with distinct zones. The main attraction is the Pilgrimage Hill, a 456-step climb past nine major biblical scenes with life-size statues leading to a white cross and Heaven on Earth meditation area with angels and panoramic views. Lower areas include a man-made lagoon for fishing and boating, swimming pools, farm animal areas, gardens, zipline, and cottages. The setting is rural and hilly with landscaped grounds, religious displays, and recreational facilities.

Developed by the Garin family of Iloilo as an inland farm that was later expanded into a farm resort and pilgrimage destination. The Pilgrimage Hill was conceived as a spiritual and educational attraction depicting biblical history to complement the agricultural and recreational functions of the farm.

Serves as a Christian pilgrimage and meditation site depicting scenes from the Old and New Testaments, culminating in the Heaven on Earth representation. It is used for religious reflection, retreats and Lenten pilgrimages, reflecting the strong Catholic heritage of southern Iloilo.
