The typhoon-battered islands of Batanes make for the perfect getaway not just because it’s right in the middle of the azure sea, but also because the place is teeming with a sense of history. The wind and sea have carved the islands into spectacular rock formations, telling of the area’s geological story over thousands of years.
There are only a few places on earth where you can be this close to Mother Nature and witness her power etched into the very landscape. Batanes is made up of both inhabited and uninhabited islands, all of them filled to the brim with amazing flora and fauna. Situated this far north, the animals and plants have developed into an intricate ecosystem that is virtually untouched by modern development. At the same time, the extreme weather conditions on this part of the Philippines also make for rather awesome geological formations, such as Itbayat Island, the biggest uplifted coral reefs on the planet. Surprisingly enough, the island is inhabited. It’s so far up north that it’s actually closer to Taiwan than Luzon! All around the island, you will definitely notice the beautiful yet hardy stone homes of the locals. The Ivatan people have been living in the northernmost islands of the Philippines since time immemorial and have since learned to adapt to the natural calamities that besiege the islands every so often. The houses have to be strong enough to withstand the 20+ storms that rage across the islands and the harsh winter winds coming off from Siberia from December to February. They have to be cool throughout the short summer on the islands. They have to be sturdy enough to get through the occasional earthquakes that sometimes visit the island. The seat of government of the province is found on Batan Island. Basco is the center of economic development in Batanes as well as the gateway to the rest of the province. It’s best for you to book your rooms within the town so you can make use of as many amenities as possible—other accommodations might not have running water or electricity 24/7, so if you’re picky about these things, stick to Basco.
