Iloilo River Esplanade

Really cute pathway for joggers, walkers, etc. Visited here my first time when also with family from Iloilo. Really enjoyed the cool breeze alongside the river. Nice time to enjoy in the evening.

There was even a Zumba lesson going on for the community. I joined in for a bit, haha.

Lots of restaurants, karaoke bar, coffee shops along the way. There is a part of the river called “the boardwalk” where most of the action is. I was told there is good night life but I couldn’t say so for sure since I didn’t stay for that.

We stopped at a bubble tea place and sat for a while. Many locations offer free Wi-Fi which was nice for travelers trying to stay connected.  Really well kept, clean, and safe location. I enjoyed this little gem very much. I only walked on the “Esplanade 1” side. Apparently the other side of the river’s pathway is called “Esplanade 2”.  Will hope to see that side next time since its where the Mayor’s house is.
