Silay – Patag Loop

A loop out of Silay City into the uplands behind it, climbing to around 730 metres near Patag before returning by a different line through Lantawan. The route starts in the heritage core — museums, the pro-cathedral, and the old café and bakery cluster around the plaza — then moves out through Guimbala-on and San Rafael, where junction points and hacienda land mark the sugar-era layout of the countryside. The climb toward Patag passes cliff sections, roadside viewpoints including the Pugad viewing deck, and simple upland stays around Pine Tree Peak. The Lantawan trail entrance and water reservoir sit on the return leg. Because it is a loop, the drive works in either direction, and the city end can be treated as the food and fuel base for the whole circuit.
