Batanes

Batanes can be found in the northernmost part of the Philippines. Batanes is where the Pacific Ocean merges with the South China Sea. It is considered the smallest province in terms of land area and population.

Guests and travelers who have visited Batanes have only one impression of the area – it is one of the best places to visit in the Philippines.  This is especially true to people who love nature at its best. Batanes is ideal for people who want to enjoy a relaxing summer vacation doing fishing, diving, hiking, and trekking.

Batanes is very well known for its peace and order and the province has consistently reported a zero crime rate. One of the notable things in Batanes is the fact that visitors who have misplaced or lost personal items report that finding the lost items is not a problem. The community is well organized and things found are given to local authorities to await its owners. Lost and found items are announced in local bulletins and in a local radio station.
One of the attractions in Batanes is the well known Batanes’ Honesty Coffee Shop. The store operates without any store clerk to watch over the sales transactions. In the Honesty Store guests will find a clear plastic jar on the counter where customers can put their money to pay for anything they want. They also get their change from the same jar of money.
