Aside from Balaan Bukid, there's another religious site in Guimaras located in Brgy. Tamburong, San Lorenzo. It is called HOLY FAMILY HILLS. It is 52-57 hectares. It was our first destination on September 09, 2012. I was with g Bebe, her daughter April and Micai. It was actually another unplanned trip. I nearly decided not to push through the said trip because of heavy rain. But Ng Bebe was consistent to go. Fortunately, there was no rain when we arrived in Jordan wharf. Galing no?
We arrived in Jordan wharf almost eleven in the morning. Nong Oca brought us to our first destination. He told his trip stories while we were on our way. He is a trike driver slashed tour guide.
We reached the road crossing to Holy Family Hills just more than half an hour.
Another 5 to ten minutes to Holy Family Hills from the main road. Here na us!
The amenities include Grotto of Holy Family, Prayer room, and life sized Station of the Cross (Seven Sorrowful & 7 Joyful Mysteries).
I think, yung pagitan of one station to another is 3 to 5 meters. At nilibot namin lahat.

It offers day recollection. No entrance fee! Donation only. No overnight cottages available nor store to buy foods and water. Kaya bring your own baon.
Cowboy lang kami. We enjoyed much! We didn't even know na merong CR kaya sa damuhan na lang kami umihi. The ladies umihi using umbrella to hide themselves. Ha-ha.

Dahil walang cottages, we just sat and ate our to-go-lunch on the grass with a nice view of the river below.
