The beautiful landscape of Tinyan Viewpoint – seemingly endless rolling hills carpeted in soft, luscious green grass – is one that sets Batanes apart from other tourist destinations. But just like the other spots in Batanes, Tinyan Viewpoint keeps a little surprise for visitors – the farthest and highest slope in the area gives a breathtaking view of Chamantad Cove.
