Dios Mamajes Batanes for restoring my faith that the Philippines is indeed truly blessed amidst of all the chaos happening in our country.
Dios Mamajes Batanes for showing me self-reliance. Being in isolation for so long, you were able to stand on your own and were able to tame the mountains, sun, sea and sky.
Not convinced yet? Please see photos below to help you decide to visit Batanes this summer.

Do you want to start planning for the trip? I know you've been wanting to ask me about the budget. Yes?
To answer that, we booked our February flight in October via Philippine Airlines. Our PAL ticket costs 15,637 per pax. I know this is a huge amount, but there are a lot of ways on how you can save for this trip. :-)
Our Package tour costs 8,500 per pax All - in. Just do the math!
