Basco
Region II · Batan Island
The capital of Batanes, the northernmost province of the Philippines, sitting barely 200km from Taiwan. The rolling hills, stone Ivatan houses and dramatic coastal cliffs look nothing like the rest of the Philippines. The only way in is by propeller plane from Manila or Tuguegarao.
