Batanes has always been compared to Ireland when it comes to its cliffs. Though I myself haven’t been there, I know a couple of friends who has been there and had told me that the Cliffs of Batanes does remind them of Ireland. When in tour in Batanes, one of the favorite stops along the road is the Chanarian Viewdeck where you can have a closer inspection of the cliffs.
Chanarian Viewdeck is just a short drive south west of Basco before you enter the town of Mahatao. Just between the zigzagging road of Hanib and Mahatao. You wont miss the cemented view deck and benches on your right coming from Basco.
