Chocolate hills

Bohol boasts over 1,268 dome-shaped hills of perfect symmetry - possibly up to 1,776!- that are spread throughout. What sets these apart from their counterparts in other islands is their geological mystery: known as conical karst formations made of limestone, exactly how these formations came to exist is still debated among scientists! These extraordinary natural marvels leave everyone who witnesses them truly amazed. see less

To experience one of the world's classic panoramic vistas, head straight for Carmen s Chocolate Hills Complex viewing deck requiring just a short climb of many steps; but trust us; all your efforts will pay off when looking down upon an unobstructed 360 view featuring thousands of perfectly cone shaped hills stretching as far as your eye can see! Additionally, Sagbayan Peak provides another viewpoint which may offer less crowding options and offers another amazing panorama! see less

Finding your way to Bohol s Chocolate Hills from Tagbilaran City (its capital) can be quite an adventure in itself! Popular methods of travel to reach them range from renting a motorbike, renting a private car or van, joining an organized tour which often combines visiting both attractions, or public transit such as buses or V Hires that will transport you directly into Carmen, from where a tricycle service runs directly uphill towards viewing deck. No matter which approach you decide upon - be prepared for plenty of stunning sights along the way! see less
