Wander Philippines

Valugan boulder beach

Seascape

Sabtang lighthouse guards the pristine waters and rich lands of the Philippine islands.

Sabtang coast

Rolling Hills, home to cattle and goats where they freely roam.

Postcard-perfect picture.

Perfect way to spend the day -- sit, relax, and feel the cool breeze brush your face.

Once on top of the hill, you'll be blown away not only by the winds, but also by the magnificence and beauty of your surroundings.

In my heart i know that i'll come back to this paradise to feel the tranquility and timelessness once again.

I was awed when i first saw Batanes from an aerial perspective. Combined with the contrast of the brown and green cliffside bordering turquoise blue waters, the view was really breathtaking.

Garden of Arius (Podocarpus costalis and Podocarpus polystachyus)

Fundacion Pacita, a secluded cliff side home away from home.

Falowa, only means of transpo that will take you from Batan to Sabtang or Itbayat.

Coconut crab, an Ivatan delicacy.

Best spot to drool over the vast expanse of the Pacific ocean.

Being separated from the main island of Luzon by miles of rough waters, Ivatans (the people of the province) have developed a different culture and have preserved its uniquely rich heritage.

Batanes will remind you to live in perfect harmony with nature and with one another, zero crime rate, as they say.

Batanes Island, in northernmost Philippines, showcases sceneries that can fairly be compared with some European landscapes.
