Our trip to Batanes will never be complete without taking home a piece of the paradise up North. While we were strolling along a road in Basco, we found a shop that sells Batanes handicrafts, souvenirs and delicacies. The store has all sorts of handicrafts and souvenir items such as hats, baskets, bags, and coin purse made of rattan, keychains, ref magnets, postcards, greeting cards and souvenir T-shirts. Aside from these items, our attention was also caught by these cute souvenirs that are replicas of what you will most likely see in the island – stone houses and Ivatans.

Here are some pictures of the different handicrafts, souvenirs and delicacies in Batanes:
Other delicacies that can also be found in Batanes are bucayo (coconut delicacy,) sweet camote chips and sugar coated peanuts which are really very delicious.
These little souvenirs, keepsakes, and mementos that we got from the island will surely remind us of the wonderful moments that we have shared in Batanes.

your site is very useful! i am still waiting for the chance to visit Batanes. let’s help preserve Batanes and it’s culture! Here’s a reminder…
A friendly reminder to those planning to visit Batanes – Tourists should never buy the Ivatan Vakul. It is made from endemic and endangered species of plant (Philippine Date Palm or Voyavoy) that grows only in tiny parts of Batanes. If tourists buy a vakul, that plant could become extinct and so will be that culture of Batanes and the country. Only Ivatans should own a vakul.
Thanks for that info Abby.
