Aklan Ati-Atihan

Aklan Ati-Atihan
The Ati-Atihan commemorates the time when the native Atis sold some land to the Malays. Soot-covered bodies invade the streets and everybody’s dancing like there’s no tomorrow. Thunderous drumbeats heighten the dancers’ intense and rhythmic movements. If you’re too caught up in the energy, then by all means, join in the frenzy!

Sidetrip: Just a bus ride and a boat ride away is the paradise island of Boracay. Just be sure to book a room way ahead because this is the peak season. A culinary option is a food trip in Roxas, which is famous for its giant king crabs. From Kalibo, it’s roughly 53 kilometers by road and can be reached by riding a bus and boat.
