Infanta, Municipality in Pangasinan, Philippines
Infanta is a municipality in Pangasinan province located in the Ilocos Region on Luzon's western coast. The town is divided into 13 barangays with varied terrain ranging from coastal plains to inland hills.
Infanta became independent from Santa Cruz in 1876 under Spanish colonial rule, then became part of Pangasinan province in 1903. This shift in administration during the early American period helped shape the municipality's modern structure.
The municipality maintains linguistic diversity with residents speaking Pangasinan, Sambal, Ilocano, and Tagalog throughout its communities.
The best time to visit is from November to April when rainfall is minimal and roads remain accessible. During the rainy season, road conditions can worsen quickly, so checking weather conditions before traveling is helpful for planning your route.
The area receives notably heavy rainfall, with July being the wettest month when water pours down for extended periods. This consistent moisture has shaped local farming practices and influenced how communities manage water and agriculture.
