The Chocolate Hills.

Nearby to the little village of Loboc on Bohol there are the Chocolate Hills. It is about 25 kilometers away, so for the sporty people it is possible to do this on a mountain bike. The Chocolate Hills are a strange phenomenon. There are about 1270 of these hills, which are almost of the same height, overgrown with grass. At the end of the dry season the grass turns brown, so they look like chocolate hills. A cruise along Loboc River will take passengers upstream passing by large vegetations of palm trees, coconuts and other tropical flora. Another show up is the visit of smallest monkeys on earth known as “Tarsiers”. Sure enough, the Chocolate Hills are everything they are made up to be: beautiful, eerie, and nicest when the sun comes up.
