The Enchanted Duo of Bohol
This Philippine island paradise is home to two of Earthβs most surreal wonders: wide-eyed tarsiers peering from jungle leaves and the mysterious Chocolate Hills rolling across the landscape. A true UNESCO-listed masterpiece of nature!
π Meet the Worldβs Smallest Primates
At the Philippine Tarsier Sanctuary:
- Spot wild tarsiers (just 10-15cm tall!) clinging to branches
- Learn why these big-eyed creatures canβt survive in captivity
- Silence is golden β their sensitive hearing means no loud noises allowed
- Fun fact: Their eyes are each bigger than their stomachs!
Ethical Tip: Avoid roadside "tarsier selfie" traps β visit the legitimate sanctuary in Corella instead.
π« The Chocolate Hills Mystery
Over 1,268 perfect grass-covered mounds transform with the seasons:
- Summer (Mar-May): Hills turn "chocolate brown" under the sun
- Rainy season: Emerald green like giant molehills
- Best viewpoints: Carmen Observation Deck or Sagbayan Peak
Geological Wonder: Scientists still debate how these 30-50m high limestone hills formed so symmetrically!
Pro Tips:
β Visit hills at sunrise to avoid crowds + heat
β Combine tarsiers + hills in a countryside tour
