The Geographical Aspects of Capiz

Definitely Bewitching


Capiz is one of the six provinces of Western Visayas shaped like an open palm. Its pride is an 80 km. coastline abundant with different kinds of fishes and shells all year round making Capiz the Seafood Capital of the Philippines (teh, diin kamu da?!). Its capital is Roxas City and is located at the northeastern portion of Panay Island, bordering Aklan and Antique to the west, and Iloilo to the south. Capiz faces the Sibuyan Sea to the north. Capiz is known for its mother-of-pearl shells that have the same name and are used for decoration, making lampshades, trays, window doors, etc.


Capiz is located on a small island formed by the Panay and Banica rivers. The Panay river used to be famous for the great number of alligators thriving there. The soil is poor in the northern part of the island and is most productive only in the southern part. Capiz is bounded by the Mindoro sea, the Panay, Loctugan and Ivisan rivers.


Our century old churches, unexplored caves that hides extra ordinary treasures. Enchanting waterfalls. That hides on the tropical forest. Wide beaches and isolated coves full of mysteries that are to be explored. Wonders at its best. Captivating travelers that are bold enough to explore the beauty of Capiz.
