In the dry season Chocolate hills are exactly what the name suggests they are: chocolate brown cone shaped hills. In the wet season they tend to be a bit to green to remind you of chocolate, but they are still a great sight.

The 1000 hills are probably of volcanic origin, but local legends claim they are the tears of giants who once lived on the island.

To get to the hills, firts take a bus to Carmen, from where you can either get to the hills on motorbike or just hiking (it's only 4 km).

The trip to the hills is as interesting as the hills themselves. On your way there, visit the oldest church in the Philippines in Baclayon (1595), try what it's like to cross a hanging bridge, have a look at the manufacturing of Bohol's native products such as basketware and enjoy the intense green of the rice fields.
