Kalibo, Provincial capital in Aklan, Philippines
The municipality of Kalibo extends along the Panay River, occupying an area of flat terrain at 7 meters above sea level in Aklan Province.
Established in 1571, Kalibo transformed from its original name Akean to Calivo during Spanish colonial times, before becoming a center of resistance in 1897.
The Ati-Atihan Festival fills Kalibo's streets each January with participants covered in soot, representing the traditional Ati people through dances and celebrations.
Kalibo International Airport serves as the primary gateway for travelers, with regular connections to Manila and other major Philippine destinations throughout the year.
Local artisans in Kalibo maintain the tradition of piña weaving, creating delicate textiles from pineapple fibers, recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage.
