It is an undeniable fact that the world’s sweetest mangoes came from this side of the planet. But other than the heart-shaped golden delight we all love, many know nothing about this place.

I first learned about Guisi Ruins and Lighthouse from Marc of Explore Iloilo. Since then I keep of bugging him to include this in our itinerary when I get to Guimaras. And finally, Last April 27, 2008, it was my first time to set foot in Guisi Lighthouse and Ruins in Barangay Dolores, in the town of Nueva Valencia, Guimaras.

ILOILO CITY, April 23 (PNA) – The Department of Tourism (DOT) will look into the rehabilitation of the century-old lighthouse in the province of Guimaras and have it converted into a viewing deck for tourists.
The Guisi Light House located in Sitio, Guisi, Barangay Dolores in Nueva Valencia, Guimaras was built in 1896 and is now being promoted by the provincial government for heritage tourism.
