Actually, sadly, there's no chocolate in these hills. But these unique land formations can be found on Bohol Island in the Philippi.jpgnes. 

The name is the Chocolate Hills, and they are likely Bohol's number one tourist attraction. 

Considerable debate exists as to how the 1,268 chocolate hills came to exist. Local folklore claims they came to existence after a stone-throwing fight between two giants. 

Local geologists believe they are weathered formations of a variety of limestone, deposited onto clay. Regardless, they are truly one of the world's natural oddities. 

Another attraction on Bohol is that of the tarsier monkey, a unique animal that was the inspi.jpgration of Steven Speilberg's film ET. Bohol is home to the Philippi.jpgne Tarsier Foundation, an organization dedicated to the preservation and well-being of the tarsier.  

Bohol is also known for its pristine beaches, and is home to world-renowned scuba diving and snorkeling. 

An island of splendid natural beauty, Bohol awaits you on your visit to the Philippi.jpgnes!
