Mention Batanes and images of rolling hills, stone houses, light houses, friendly people come to mind. Only a few people associate Batanes with horses. But when you come to think of it, horses and rolling hills together create a surreal image. In fact, it is one reason out of many, why I love the place.
Imagine the wind on your face, while you are standing on top of a hill, the ocean not far, with the image of horses running wild. No place is quite like it. At least in the Philippines.
How to Get There:
Seair (http://flyseair.com/) flies twice daily to Basco, Batanes. To minimize on cost (one way costs Php 7,039.20) watch out for promos that Seair regularly gives away — Feb and Sept, for half the price during the Philippine Travel Tour Expo and the Philippine Travel Mart, and for various discounts year-round online.

I really love your Batanes series. Your pictures are so crisp and the colors are so vivid kaya talagang nakaka-engganyo tingnan. Add to the fact that it looks so warm! Soooo inviting for someone like me who's shivering now in the cold wave in Europe! Wahhh!

ReplyDeleteBatanes is one of my dream destinations. :) I love your pictures and it inspires me to save up so that I can go to Batanes personally in the future. Hope other airlines can offer flights to Batanes too. :)
ReplyDeleteThe only thing you need to save up for is the plane ticket. Everything else in Batanes is affordable.
ReplyDeleteSana nga maging mas mura na ang plane fare papunta dun... :)
