Savor the slice of paradise in Batangas’ seaside towns and villages. Dive into depths of Anilao, Batangas’ very own underwater Eden. Swim and dive into the tropical waters of Verde Island Passage, described as the center of the world’s marine biodiversity. Frolic on Laiya Aplaya, San Juan town’s famous stretch of white sand beach, and hop around the many offshore islets. Travel back in time at Taal Heritage Village and marvel at the well-preserved ancestral houses. Visit the many centuries-old churches, each one architecturally awe-inspiring. Sample the local brew of Batangas coffee and witness the art of Balisong-making. Indeed, a multi-faceted beauty, Batangas never ceases to catch the eye of everyone with its many charms and wonderful surprises.
SOMBRERO ISLAND
A very small island shaped like a hat, it’s pretty obvious how Sombrero Island got its name. A favorite side-trip spot of mountaineers trekking down from Mount Gulugod Baboy, Sombrero Island is also a popular “stop over” for scuba divers and other tourists from Anilao.
