Landscape

Panay has very wide stretches of coastal lowlands along with hill and mountains in the interior of the island. A good thing to know is that it has no volcanoes. Its borders are the Visayan Sea to its east, the Buyo East Pass on the west side, the Sibuayan Sea with the province of Romblon on the north, the Sulu Sea to the southwest and finally the Guimaras Strait to the south.

The island is very diverse when it comes to its climate. On the western half of Aklan, Iloilo and the western tip of Capiz has two seasons, dry from November to April and wet for the rest of the year. However, there are also parts of the island where there is not a lot of rain to be noted and parts where the dry season only lasts up to three months. On average, the highest amount of rainfall for the island happens in the month of September while the lowest amount of rain happens from March to April.

This is the highest peak on Panay.
