Naidi Hills (Basco Lighthouse + Bunker Cafe)
The province’s most iconic structure, Basco Lighthouse is one of the only two in the island and three in the entire province. The six-story tower stands mightily in the middle of Naidi Hills. Naidi comes from two Ivatan words: Na, meaning “past”; and Idi, meaning “settlement.”
Basco Lighthouse was erected in 2003 at the site of the town’s former lighthouse and American telegraph facilities, which were destroyed during the war.
The site offers a unique panoramic view of Baluarte Bay, Basco town, Mount Iraya and the rolling hills of Batan Island. On a clear day, the whole of Batanes can be seen from end to end, including the islets beyond Itbayat.
This place is one of the tourist destination here in the Philippines because of its own untouched beauty and view.
A BUCKET LIST.
