Tukon Chapel: A Spiritual Haven in Batanes

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are starting from Basco town center, make your way to the main road heading towards the airport. From the town plaza, walk north along the main street (Barangay San Antonio) until you reach the intersection. Turn left onto the road leading to the airport. Continue walking for about 1.5 kilometers. You will pass by beautiful landscapes and local houses. Keep an eye out for Tukon Chapel, which is situated on a hill to your right. It is a distinct structure with a white facade and a cross on top, making it easy to spot. The walk should take around 20-30 minutes depending on your pace.

• Bicycle

  For a slightly faster option, you can rent a bicycle in Basco. Starting from the town center, head north towards the airport along the main road (Barangay San Antonio). Cycle for approximately 1.5 kilometers. As you approach the chapel, you'll see it perched on a hill to your right. This route is relatively flat, making it an enjoyable ride, and it should take about 10-15 minutes on a bicycle.

• Tricycle

  If you prefer not to walk or cycle, you can hire a tricycle from Basco. Simply tell the driver you want to go to Tukon Chapel, and they will know the location. The ride should take around 5-10 minutes, depending on traffic and road conditions. It’s a convenient option, especially if you're carrying any belongings or prefer a quicker route.
