| | Chocolate Hills An
experience which must not be missed, the Chocolate Hills are about 1200
hills which are about 30 to 50 m high and covered with grass.
When the grass dries out, it's green colour turns to brown - hence the
name Chocolate Hills. It is not completely understood how this singular
natural landscape developed. According to some geologists, Bohol was
under water during pre-historic times.  Originally
deposited during volcanic eruptions, the sea bed was smoothed and
rounded off gradually by the currents of the water, resulting in this
unusual formation.The journey from Alona Beach to the Chocolate Hills can be made with an air-conditioned taxi, a mini bus, or a rented motorcycle. We will gladly make the necessary arrangements at the Dive Shop. The trip from Alona Beach to the Chocolate Hills takes about 2 hours. The route leads first across Tagbilaran on the coastal road through Loay. From there we head inland. Past the Loboc River with its waterfalls and by beautiful rice field systems, one comes again and again through smaller villages, where you will meet the extremely hospitable locals. At the Loboc River, you can travel into the forest to see the Tarsiers. These are the smallest primates in the world. In addition, boat trips are available offering spectacular scenic views. About 10 km before Carmen, a signpost/guide leads you to the right into the Chocolate Hills naturepark. On the highest of the numerous hills there are 293 stairs.  From there the visitor is offered
an unbelievably beautiful view with a marvelous panorama.The total distance is approx. 85 km. All along the route, small stores line the road. Here you can find all kinds of snacks and refreshments, also that spare roll of film which you may need. | |
