GO TO BOHOL

-

The ‘Chocolate Hills’ might sound like a delicious attraction Willy Wonka might have dreamt up, but they’re actually 1,200 or so symmetrica­l mounds on Bohol, an island just off the coast of Cebu. The mounds are for the most part green, but turn a cocoa-brown in the dry season and contrast with the jungle below; thus the name. The island is also famous for the saucer-eyed tarsier, a peculiar-looking animal that stakes its claim as one of the world’s smallest primates. For that reason, Bohol is home to the Philippine Tarsier Sanctuary, a way for travellers to visit the bug-eyed nocturnal tarsiers in a humane and ecofriendl­y environmen­t.
