Batanes Island is the smallest province in the Philippines. Batanes lies in the enormous waters of the Pacific Ocean. This island has been isolated from the Philippines; because of this, the people living here, which are called the Ivatans developed a different culture.
Visitors here can’t help but notice their houses which are made of stone walled and thick roofs; it is built as a protection against typhoons.
Most frequently visited places in this island are the House of Dakay, Lighthouses of Batanes, St. Dominic de Guzman Parish Cathedral, Mahatao View Deck and many more.
