If you are planning a trip to the Philippines, Bohol is one of the destinations that you cannot miss. Bohol is one of the 7.107 islands in the archipelago, and is located 700km south of Manila.
There is much to see in Bohol, but there are above all 3 reasons that attract many tourists each year to this Philippine island:
1 - The tarsiers:
The tarsier is a small monkey (actually one of the smallest in the world), with nocturnal habits, that you can find on several Philippine islands such as Samar, Mindanao and Bohol. If you want to see the tarsiers up close, there is a sanctuary for these animals 10km from Tagbilaran, the capital of Bohol. If you are staying at a resort on the island, you can surely book an excursion with the hotel.
2 - The Chocolate Hills (chocolate hills):
This impressive mountain formation owes its name to the color of the hills that form it, especially in the dry season. Tourists who have been able to see this wonder in person comment that it is difficult to believe that it is real.
3 - The beaches:
In Bohol you have many spectacular beaches, which have nothing to envy to destinations like the Maldives or the Seychelles. Swimming, diving, fishing and many other activities you can do on these beaches. But above all, lie down in the shade of a palm tree and simply enjoy the views.
To get to Bohol you can catch a Cebu Air flight from Manila to Tagbilaran.
