Libacao is home to some of Aklan's most charming waterfalls, and the enchanting Nasuraan Falls is one of them. This astonishing descent of freshwater from the mountains is clean enough to be consumed, and the tranquil ambiance of the falls is sure to relax you.
The adventure truly begins during transport. An hour-long jeepney drive from Kalibo Terminal to Poblacion of Libacao is taken over by a 2-hour motorcycle ride (commonly known as habal-habal) from Poblacion to Barangay Oyang. From then on, the enthralling waterfall is within a 2-hour hike against river currents and rocky surfaces.
The place is far removed from the hustle of everyday living, relying on solar panels for electricity. Poor phone reception and lack of internet availability encourage you to disconnect from life's fast-paced redundancy and reconnect with the people you love and with yourself.
The Nasuraan Falls is a magical place to be, where you will experience life in its simplest form and come eye to eye with nature's purest beauty.

Are you weary of relaxing on quiet beaches and wish to be thrilled while rushing through a raging river? Are you looking for a different, exciting, and extreme adventure? Don't worry because Libacao has something to offer you.
Libacao, a municipality 29 kilometers southwest of the capital town, is strategically placed in the province of Aklan. Upstream, the Aklan River has just been found as a new destination for wild river bamboo rafting, kayaking, and other water-based activities. Aside from being known for having the Philippines' longest "wild river", it's also noted for its "clean and clear water".
Implying from its famous nomenclature, this river attracts many tourists who want to quench their thirst for an outrageous adventure.
Its current is strong enough to take people over the river at great speeds, allowing them to feel the thrills of the rapid water as it bounces up and down on the rushing waves.
The Habal-Habal or motorcycle is the form of transportation from Libacao's Poblacion to the Aklan River. After roughly 2 hours of driving, you will be treated to a breathtaking sight of the Libacao River and the surrounding forestry.

Sitio Taroytoy, often known as the "Little Baguio of Aklan," is a highland frontier in the Central Philippines. It has been compared to the summer capital of the Philippines, Baguio City, because of its high elevation, mountainous terrains, thick forest covers, and cold weather conditions.
If you want to relax, be stress-free, and have some fun, Taroytoy in Libacao Aklan is the place to go. Sitio Taroytoy is 5-6 hours by foot from Brgy. Manika Aklan, and is a great destination for mountain climbing.

It is a fantastic site to visit, where you may experience life in its most uncorrupted form and come face to face with nature's most beautiful creation.
