The Batanes Islands are a group of islands located in the northernmost part of the Philippines. Comprising ten islands, the three largest are Batan, Sabtang, and Itbayat. Known for their stunning landscapes, the islands feature rolling hills, rugged coastlines, and traditional stone houses. The region has a unique culture influenced by both Filipino and Ivatans traditions. The climate in Batanes is generally cool and windy, making it different from the tropical weather found in most of the Philippines. The islands are also home to diverse wildlife and are a popular destination for eco-tourism. Visitors can explore scenic spots, enjoy local cuisine, and experience the rich heritage of the Ivatans.
