About this place

If you are looking for an amazing natural landscape then Chocolate Hills will amaze you. As many as 1400 green hills are just waiting to be visited. But why they are called Chocolate. Well, the green grass that covers them turns brown every dry season. And even though if you don´t come during that period, they are perfect as well. These hills stretch on an area of about 50 square km, and Bohol province is so proud of them that they are painted on the provincial flag. They are cone shaped but of various sizes and the highest is 120 m high.

Of course, when there is such a beautiful landscape, there is also an interesting legend that describes its emergence. The local legend tells a story of two giants who fouhgt each other with stones and sand. And even though, according to the legend these two giants finally became friends they left the island and left their fighting material lying around and that later became the famous chocolate hills.

Naturally, it would be hard to see the magnificence of the hills standing on the foot of them. For the observation purposes there is an observation hill where visitors can climb 124 steps and see the beautiful hills from a better standpoint.
