EXPLORING PHILIPPINES: Let's travel the Breathtaking Batanes!

Previously, I published article about the reasons why Philippines is one of the best tourist destination all over the world because of the country's famous beaches, cultures, foods, adventures and many more.

To see my previous post: ONLINE TRAVEL: Let's visit Philippines

That article is maybe the introduction for the online travel in my country, Philippine. So for today's article,this will be our PART 1! YEYY! We will explore all the places in the Philippines.

I actually aspiring to become a travel vlogger but since I don't have enough equipment, I am using this platform to share with you the beauty of our country. So for now, I am your guide as we explore the PHILIPPINES. Can I get, YEYYYYY?

So, we're all going to BATANES! YEEEEY!

Our location right now is we're here in MANILA, PHILIPPINES.

And we are going to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) for our flight in Basco, Batanes.

Note: This is the fastest and most convenient way to get there in Batanes as it would only take us 70 to 110 minutes but it depends on the airline. If we will travel by land, it will took us days!

YEEY! WELCOME TO BATANES!

So, first we're going to our hotel for a quick rest because we will prepare ourselves for a whole day adventure! YEYY!

LET'S TRAVEL BREATHTAKING BATANES!

For the first tourist spot we're going to:

RACUH A PAYAMAN (MARLBORO COUNTRY)

On a blog site, I read that Racuh A Payaman is defined as a magical place because of its rolling hills and a small mountain or grassy knolls that you will always see wherever your eyes look. They also said that the tiny grass here are swaying as when the wind blows which is so beautiful to watch. This place became the location of the 1965 film ''The Sound of Music."

From our location, we see the Mt. Irayat, Diura Beach, Tayid Lighthouse, and the Pacific Ocean.

Okay, for the second spot. &drumrolls&

BASCO LIGHTHOUSE

This lighthouse in Batanes is a bucket list! Though there are many lighthouses in this province and actually this place has a lot of lighthouses in the Philippines. Basco lighthouse is a 66 ft tower that gives you an unobstructed 360 degree view the Basco Port, Mt. Iraya, the Basco town proper and the West Philippine sea.

ALAPAD HILLS AND ROCK FORMATION

One of the best spot in Batanes because will driving you can see the view of the ocean plus this astounding marvelous hill. On the blog site, I also read that Before you reach the Alapad Hill and Rock Formation, you will enjoy the majestic scene of Batan Island, the Imnajbu Road Cliffs.

HONESTY COFFEE SHOP

What make this shop famous is that you can buy anything you want such as foods or souvenirs and put the exact payment on the counter honestly. This what make this shop a tourist spot and one of the best place in Batanes.

HOUSE OF DAKAY

This tourist spot was built in 1887 and known as the oldest stone house in Batanes. The traditional structure of the house of Dakay will only be found in Batanes and it is already considered as the heritage treasure of the province.

SAVIDUG STONE HOUSES

Savidug Stone Houses is the primary house of the Ivatan people because it is used to protect them against the typhoon since the location of the province and also the country is in typhoon belt. One of the best thing in this place is that it is still untouched, so the people here still live by their traditions.

VAYANG ROLLING HILLS

Waaaah, who would not get in love with this place because of the majestic view of this province. This Vayang Rolling Hills, from the name, it has a lot of rolling hills and the 360 degree unobstructed view that you will see the places we visited.

Okay, so we are going to beachesss! YEHEY!

MORONG BEACH

This one is the best location as you can enjoy swimming in the white sand beach. Though this place is not known for the white sand beaches but being in this place is really so cool!

VALUGAN BOULDER BEACH

After the white sand then this rocky beach! Yey! Batanes is really an all in one place. From mountain views to beaches that will give you an exciting adventure and treasurable destinations.

CHAWA VIEW DECK

One of the best place we should never missed! Walking down the hundred steps of these stairs while looking on the view of West Philippine Sea. What to expect when we go down? There is a mini pool that has different color from that of the ocean water and settles down inside a small area. 

There are a lot of places here in Batanes that I haven't discussed or the place we still didn't go. But I promise you that those place are also really so memorable and a must visit.

I haven't been in this place and this is one of my dream destinations. This place captured my heart and hoping someday I could visit BATANES!

Thank you for staying with me, I hope you fell in love with this place and soon let's travel together.

I am thinking of our day 2 here in Batanes which we will study and be in love with their cuisine, cultures, festivals and etc.
