Chocolate Hills – Bohol

by Ruru Pilapil

Our first stop for our Bohol Day Tour: Chocolate Hills.

Chocolate Hills

Indeed, the most amazing view that I’ve ever seen. It was a perfect sunny Sunday when we went to Carmen, Bohol to see the famous Chocolate Hills. Thank God it didn’t rain on that day, because as per Mang Jun, weather in Bohol is very unpredictable. We’ve seen the Chocolate Hills at its finest, what a perfect day!

Ruru and the Chocolate Hills

We enjoyed taking pictures with the Chocolate Hills as a background, the famous jump shot that brought us to sweat. LOL. Here are some pics:

A little info:

“The Chocolate Hills are probably Bohol’s most famous tourist attraction. They look like giant mole hills, or as some say, women’s breasts, and remind us of the hills in a small child’s drawing. Most people who first see pictures of this landscape can hardly believe that these hills are not a man-made artifact. However, this idea is quickly abandoned, as the effort would surely surpass the construction of the pyramids in Egypt. The chocolate hills consist of are no less than 1268 hills (some claim this to be the exact number). They are very uniform in shape and mostly between 30 and 50 meters high. They are covered with grass, which, at the end of the dry season, turns chocolate brown. From this color, the hills derive their name. At other times, the hills are green, and the association may be a bit difficult to make.”
