Iconic Chocolate Hills, Green and brown kisses

by AusPinay

The Chocolate Hills are the most popular tourist attraction in Bohol. They look like green and brown kisses as they form a rolling terrain of haycock hills – mounds of a generally conical and almost symmetrical shape. Seeing them with my very eyes was a culmination of longtime dream and I found myself almost teary eyed when I first caught A glimpse of a few of them from a distance as we reached the summit of the Chocolate Hills Complex in Carmen. They are a sight to behold! it was lucky the weather was really bright and sunny but then it turned really really scorching hot while we were there but the beauty of the Hills, limestone formation that turn brown like chocolate kisses when the weather gets really hot and the grasses and trees dry and so the colour brown represented chocolate kisses.The biggest hill has been developed into a resort with accommodations, restaurant and gift shop....

Cruising Loboc River

by buenababe

One of the must-do when you go to Bohol is to cruise the Loboc River. An improvised banka (motorized boat) with table and seats makes you feel like you are in an open room while enjoying the scenery and the tranquility of the river.The cruise takes approximately 30-45 minutes to and fro and it's such an experience to ponder on the beauty of nature and life in general.

Man-made Forest

by buenababe

On the way to the Chocolate Hills, the Man-made Forest is located on both roadsides. It is fascinating to know that natives of the place decades ago planted those mahogany trees on the side of the road, a few kilometers stretch, with the thought of preserving the environment.The place makes us realize of how important trees are. The location makes me feel Im in the scene of a Twilight movie. ;)

Chocolate Hills

by buenababe

The pride of Bohol.The chocolate hills are unusual geological formation composed of 1248 mounds believed to be made from limestones. The hills turn brown during the dry season which is why they are called Chocolate Hills. They are the major tourist attraction in Bohol and one of the most fascinating wonders of nature to see.

Blood Compact Site

by buenababe

It is the monument that commemorates the pact of friendship between the Philippines and Spain. It has more significance with history and a good place to reflect that what was written on textbooks did actually occur. ;)Plenty of tourists visit the site since it is the first stop of the Countryside Tour arranged by the locals. If u plan to drop by and have photos taken, be alert to go straight to the monument or wait in front of it so ul have a big chance to pose first before anyone else does.

Butterfly Garden

by buenababe

It is a place where tourists can see different species of the butterfly. They breed the butterflies here and a tour guide explains very well about their cycle and everything about them. What makes it interesting is that you'll get to see butterflies you haven't seen before and appreciate how beautiful butterflies are. ;)

Island Hopping - Part 1

by moonlighting

PUNTOD ISLAND Also known as Virgin Island. One of the islands that may be visited from Panglao Island. Travel time by pumpboat is about 1 hour. This island is crescent-shaped sandbar, no facilities here. But when the tide is low, it's nice to just walk on the sandbar, enjoy the view. Shore is generally mossy and maybe the area is not good for snorkeling. But just looking at the sorroundings, emerald green and blue waters, fine sand, black birds resting on the island's shrubs every now and then... so blissful. And sometimes you just happen to hop by this island when there are no other visitors, you feel like Tom Hanks in Castaway, you feel like you're really away from it all. I just hope some visitors be considerate enough not to leave their empty snack packs or water bottle on the island or your remote island pipe dream will leave you. Check travelogues for more stories on this.
