Head to Batanes, the Philippines’ last frontier

 The northernmost province of the country is a little difficult to get to, as flights are often canceled due to bad weather. If you keep your schedule flexible, though, you’ll love the untouched beauty of its ten islands. Watch as hundreds of cows loiter on Batanes’ many hills, as you’re treated to a dramatic landscape that feels totally detached from the hustle and bustle of the Philippines’ cities. Don’t forget to try the unique Batanes cuisine in a traditional stone house – it protects the locals from the moody weather.
