About Basco

Basco crowns the Batanes main island with postcard views of Naidi Lighthouse set against Mount Iraya, rolling hills that double as natural viewing decks, and the wave-battered Valugan Boulder Beach facing the Pacific. As the provincial capital with an airport, civic spaces, and homestays clustered near key viewpoints, Basco works as both a dramatic backdrop for ceremonies and shoots and a practical base for multi-day sporting and outdoor events.
