Batanes, dubbed as the Paradise of the North, has always been a dream. Considered the smallest and the northern-most province in the country, it is among the sought-after tourism frontier destinations located at the confluence of the West Philippine Sea and Pacific Ocean. Batanes has been awe-inspiring tourists for years – and it’s not hard to see why. Perhaps it’s the mountain-backed coves reminiscent of Game of Thrones (GOT) setting?
