Our journey continues to the ever-famous Naidi Lighthouse located on the hill near Basco. It can be reached through bicycle or even a 20 to 30 minute walk from the center of town. Naidi Lighthouse is overlooking the ocean and Basco seaport.
It is also an added feature of Basco having a very nice lighthouse within its vicinity. It has a cafe near the location; unfortunately it was closed during this season. I’m not pretty sure of its schedule or maybe during peak season it will be opened because it’s nice to unwind near the area.
The lighthouse, though not functional is very well-maintained. They put a fence to avoid the cows getting near the area. As Batanes is known for stone houses, this lighthouse also was made out of big stones. Typical Batanes feeling as you can see most of the structures are well within the same features.
We went there at around 2pm, we got to see the lighthouse under the blue skies. Nice facade and simple garden surrounding the lighthouse. We had enough of the place in less than an hour. The striking heat of the sun made us feel tired so Ate Remy suggested that we just go back during sunset. We then decided to go back to our hotel for us to rest.
Strategically located up the hill can capture a fantastic view of the sunset. Walking back to the lighthouse from our hotel, it took us 20 to 30 minutes. We witnessed a beautiful sunset in the area and it was so amazing. We didn’t get a chance to go inside the perimeter because there are groups of nuns inside. We just roamed around the area, in fact, we got the chance of going to the hillside and having the view of the lighthouse from afar.
Gone farther near the cliff, we heard the sound of the gushing waves, such a nice music to our ears. The place was so peaceful, so serene.
We took several pictures of the surroundings until dusk then opt to walk back to town to look for Pension Ivatan where we planned to have dinner.
