LOOK: 24 Random Photos That Will Make You Fall In Love with Batanes!

Batanes is a place to love! Thanks to the well-traveled Google guy, Jeh, we can show you what’s up there in the north and share the inspiration of exploring the Philippines from down south going up north! You will find Batanes in Northern Luzon with three inhabited islands located in the region of Cagayan Valley, just 120 miles south of Taiwan. Batanes is the smallest province in the country in terms of both population and land area.

Many of us may know Batanes for its fierce weather, but only the curious few dig so much beauty  that can make you fall in love over and over with this charming place.  Against the hardhearted weather and violent waves of the sea that slams against the shores of the islands, are gentle people whose value for honesty is quite admirable. A not-so-ordinary cozy coffee shop in Batanes known as the Honesty Coffee Shop located near the port of Ivana allows you to freely serve yourself with whatever you need from the shop and trusts that you will pay the right amount without anyone watching. For many tourists coming from big cities with big crimes, it may feel strange. Trust is such a big word for most, and setting foot on a zero-crime rate place is like entering into a whole new world in the Philippines.

Of carpet-like green grass on rolling hills and quiet, unspoiled, white sand beaches… discover a whole new world and fall in love with Batanes!
