More than its agricultural features, Garin Farm also boasts of its recreational facilities and activities such as zip line, swimming pool, buggy car, kayaking, fishing and whatnot. But the highlight of the place is the Pilgrimage Hill with 456-step stairs that features nine major biblical scenes including the Nativity or the Birth of Jesus, Baptism of Christ, the Last Supper and the Agony in the Garden, among others.
