The rolling hills of Basco are located in Batanes, a group of islands in the northernmost part of the Philippines. Basco is the capital town of Batanes and the hills are situated near the airport.

The hills are characterized by their green rolling landscape, dotted with cows and sheep grazing on the grassy slopes. They offer a stunning panoramic view of the surrounding seascape and the distant mountains, making them a popular spot for photography and relaxation.

Visitors can hike or rent a bike to explore the hills and take in the breathtaking scenery. The best time to visit is during the dry season, from December to May, when the skies are clear and the hills are at their greenest.

Apart from the rolling hills, Batanes also has other natural attractions such as white sandy beaches, stunning rock formations, and crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life. The culture and heritage of the Ivatan people, the indigenous group of Batanes, are also worth exploring. The traditional stone houses, locally known as "Maytuab," and the Ivatan cuisine are some of the unique features of the culture that can be experienced in Batanes.
