ESCAPADES: BATANES EDITION with Side Trip to Pagudpud
Discover the raw beauty and timeless charm of the northernmost frontier of the Philippines—Batanes. In this special edition of Escapades, we take you on a windswept journey through rolling hills, stone houses, dramatic cliffs, and quiet coastal villages where tradition endures and nature speaks in breathtaking silence.
From the iconic Rakuh a Payaman (Marlboro Hills) to the quaint Ivatan settlements of Savidug and Chavayan, explore the islands of Batan, Sabtang, and Itbayat, each offering a distinct piece of the Ivatan soul. Visit age-old churches, bask in panoramic viewpoints like Chamantad-Tiñan, and stand on the edge of the world at Alapad Rock Formation and Blow UR Horn.
As a bonus, take a scenic sidetrip to the northern gem of Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte—where white sand beaches, turquoise waters, and winding coastal highways await. Let the Patapat Viaduct, Bantay Abot Cave, and Blue Lagoon complete your northern Philippine adventure with sun-kissed serenity.
