Chocolate Hills of Bohol Island, Philippines
The famed Chocolate Hills of Bohol
are not only two but more than 1,268 cone-shaped hills – a very strange
geological formation that has baffled a lot of geologists. The hills
are spread over an area of 50 square kilometers or more and vary in size
from 30 meters to 120 meters in height.
The Chocolate Hills appear to be seemingly endless when viewed atop the hill in Carmen town.
The viewing deck there gives you a 360° view of the hills “as far as
the eyes can see”. It is more majestic when viewed from a plane – them
appearing to be thousands of mole hills dotting out from verdant
surroundings.
What’s unique with these limestone chocolate hills is that they are only
covered in grass and the cone shape is more or less common to all
although differing in size. The hills look chocolaty only during dry
season when the grass withers and turns into brown and looks like giant
chocolate kisses.
