A Jewel in the North

Batanes is located in the northernmost frontier in the Philippines. Located closer to Taiwan than to the Philippines, the islands are surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, the China Sea and the Balintang and Bashi Channels. In addition to the travel distance, the treacherous currents and frequent typhoons have kept the islands in isolation. Batanes has some of the most beautiful landscapes and seascapes and the warmest and friendliest people in the country. Beauty and simplicity to sum it up.
