Bohol is one of the many islands of the Visayas. It is known for the brown seared hemispheric hills, called "chocolate hills". Otherwise the tropical temperatures let grow palm and banana trees. You can look for the “tarsier”, the smallest monkey of the world with big eyes and ... Read review

...the late afternoon to the chocolate hills. All villages of the islands are in reach by bus or jeepney at ease. If you take the bus at 4 p.m. you are at dusk at the chocolate hills. Take a tricycle (30 Peso) to the bus stop and take a bus to Carmen (1,5 hours). Ask the bus driver or the cashier in the bus to let you out at the chocolate hills. Some motorbikes (20 Peso) are waiting for you to bring you up to the resort. They also offer round trips ... ...viewpoint (2 minutes) over the chocolate hills.
There are two versions of a legend, to explain the form of the hills. The first is that two giants were throwing stones, which were left at the battlefield. The second legend tells that the giant Aroyo shed tears, which turned into hills. He cried, because Aloya had been died, an ordinary mortal, in who he had been fallen in love. The real explanation of the form of the limestone hills is in dispute ...

Advantages: Easy to tour the Island in One Day Disadvantages: Not really recommended for Children
...was three and a half years old and my son only three months old, so the food was plenty to fill us up for the journey around Bohol Island. It is adviserable to have Distilled Water from the the secured bottles, than to drink the local water as it can give a lot of upset stomachs and causes diarrhoea.

Advantages: Friendly people, much to "discover". Disadvantages: Tell me if there are!
...Fifty five kilometers northeast of TAGBILARAN CITY, the provincial capital of Bohol, is one of the most famous natural attractions of the Philippine archipelago.
Once, a total of 1,268 "CHOCOLATEHILLS" grew up from corals. Two were "stolen by men", carrying away sand and gravel for road repair in Carmen. Then, another of the hills wer fount partly "eaten" of fed, rather to concrete producing machines ..... ignoring that the National Committee on Geological Services has declared ChocolateHills in 1988 as a National Geological Monument.
Due to the road conditions, the approximate travel time between Tagbilaran and CARMEN would be about 90 minutes or more.
After 213 steps up the hill, one can reach the observation deck on one Hill - with exquisite panoramic views - that is Chcoloate Hills as far as they eyes can see...
