Bohol is one of the many islands in the Philippines and this place has a lot of wonderful things to offer. Chocolate hills is one of those. There are more or less 1,268 cone-shaped hills with heights ranging from 40-120 meters. You can have a full view of this mysterious, romantic, and beautiful tourist attraction from either of the two highest hills which are now developed and provided with facilities to cater to the vacationers needs like restaurants, hotel and view deck. Please take a look at the photos I attached herewith, those were taken when I visited the place last year together with my Korean students.:)

No sorry I have never heard of Chocolate Hills, oh so it is in the Philippines, I have never been there but I do have a lot of Philippino friends, here in Austraia. Chocolate Hills sounds like a lovely place to see though.

Those look very cool and if I'm ever planning a trip around there I'll make sure to visit. Your pic looks cool, but I wish I could see all 1268 because I just gotta know what that looks like! Thanks for sharing :)

Thanks for the reply. yeah, it's really cool there and hope you can get to see the place when you visit the country, am pretty sure you'd love it. And am sorry, all the 1,268 hills just won't fit on my cam lens no matter how I had it zoomed out.. :(

thanks for the reply...yeah, it really is interesting and you'd love the place if you get to the top of either of the two highest hills being developed. For my case, i climbed 214 steps just to get to the top of the hill I was talking about, and it's really fun, especially when you get to the top and see the whole view. :)

I'm glad you have alrady visited Bohol. Of course, I have been there already because I'm from Bohol. lol :) Truly, it's an amazing tourist spot. Chocolate Hills is in fact among the Top 10 list of wonders in the world. These hills turn to brown during rainy seasons and turns to green in color during sunny seasons. (AM i correct? I thinks so. Or either way around) lol. You will be pleased with this spot.

Good for you, you're born and raised in a place with lots to offer. It's the other way around, the cone-shaped hills which are covered with grasses during the rainy seasons making it look real green, turn brown as they dry up during summers. :)

I have been to a tour in Bohol 2 years ago. I have already seen the chocolate hills. It's very amusing to see numerous hills. I wish i could go back there and experience the beaches.
