Vayang Rolling Hills

About Vayang Rolling Hills

Vayang Rolling Hills is a sweeping coastal grassland on the western edge of Batan Island, where centuries of trade winds have shaped pillow-soft hills that roll uninterrupted toward the South China Sea. Locally called 'Racuh a Payaman' (large pasture), the area is still grazed by cows and carabaos managed by Ivatan families. Walking paths wind across the ridge, ending at a wooden cross that frames the Mt. Iraya volcano on clear afternoons. Sunsets here are considered among the most spectacular in the Philippines.
