For first-time visitors, Itbayat Island may seem like a place suspended in time. An island paradise barely touched by the unrelenting hand of modernization, Itbayat is one of the last regions of the Philippines where man has hardly left his mark on the environment.
It is a place that sometimes feels foreign and wild, yet at the same time, familiar and tame, a place of majestic rolling hills where wild horses roam freely, racing across open fields. It’s also a place forgotten by history, where vast cave systems hold the secrets to some of the Philippines earliest settlers.
If you’re up for a real adventure and want to experience untouched nature, Itbayat is the perfect destination. Read More: https://www.ourawesomeplanet.com/awesome/2017/04/itbayat-island-philippines-last-frontier.html
