PURE & TIMELESS BATANES_ 4 Days / 3 Nights Batanes Islands

You will experience Batanes robust landscape, steep cliffs and rolling grasslands. Witness communities living in intact stone houses dating from 1887, and their unique traditional cogon rooftops, giving a feeling of timelessness. Of the 11 cool and windy islands comprising the Batanes group, only three are inhabited: Batan, Sabtang and Itbayat.
