The Chocolate Hills is probably one of the most famous attractions of Bohol. From the airport, it would take about an hour drive to get there.

The chocolate hills consist of are no less than 1268 hills. Up close, they looks like giant mole hills. They are very uniform in shape and mostly between 30 and 50 metres high. They are covered with grass, which, at the end of the dry season, turns chocolate brown. From this color, the hills derived their name. At other times, the hills are green, and the association may be a bit difficult to make.

Would you believe that these hills are not man-made? Up to this day, even geologists have not reached a theory on how they where formed. The most commonly accept theory is that they are the weathered formations of a kind of marine limestone on top of a impermeable layer of clay.

If you climb the 214 steps to the top of the observation hill near the complex, you can read this explanation on a bronze plaque.

If you go to Bohol, one must not miss visiting the Tarsiers. These animals are already extinct and the government is trying its best to preserve their existence.

The Philippine Tarsier is a tiny animal, measuring about 4 to 6 inches (15 cm) in height. The average adult is about the size of the human fist. Its head can rotated 180 degrees! They are nocturnal animals with really huge eyes that are perfect for night vision. They have thick and silky furs which is colored dark brown. Their thin tail is bald and is about twice the lenths of its body which they use for balancing.
