Batanes

Cagayan Valley

Boat-to-shore, the expedition to Mavulis (Y'Ami) Island is not for the faint hearted. This is the northernmost tip of the Philippines 🇵🇭. Any further and one will be crossing to Taiwan territory already. This island is uninhabited save for some soldiers who has a small detachment station there. Getting to the peak (719 feet) can be a bit challenging for people who are not used to steep trekking/climbing. But the view at the top is nothing short of breath taking! Singing "Lupang Hinirang" (the Philippine national anthem) while hoisting the Philippine flag was quite emotional. Proud to have been able to set foot on this island as not many have ventured here due to the island's extreme remoteness and challenging travel. #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines #Adventure #trovember #Outdoors #hiddengems

A short ride aboard the tataya (a small fishing boat without outriggers) across the sea and west of the small village of Nakanmuan in Sabtang found me in the uninhabited island of Ivujus/Vohas. There are no communities or residents here as it has been made a grazing island for cows. Aside from the bovine residents and the lush vegetation, the fine sandy beach is dotted with pieces of wreckage from old ships. In the photo, you can see the island of Sabtang from afar. #Asia #Philippines #Batanes #travel #beach #island #adventure #nature #localsecrets
