No trip to Bohol is complete without visiting the place which this province is known for, the Chocolate Hills. These geological formations are grass covered conical karst hills which turn brown during the summer, hence the name.
They may look like burial mounds clumped together, but they are really made of limestones uplifted by rainfall erosion or tectonic forces.

===============================================
On our way to the resort, we came across a pen/ petting zoo where they have another Bohol tourist attraction, the Tarsier. This vary timid creature is sensitive to noise and light so remember to turn off your flash when taking pictures. Also, you can't touch them. Even the handlers there don't touch them, they just hang there, go from branch to branch in that small makeshift forest.
There are a lot of places like this, a makeshift tourist attraction / petting zoo. Most are in the hills or mountain passes. But this place doesn't ask for an entrance fee or anything. You just drop your donation on the boxes so they buy food for the animals. Taking pictures with the other snakes and what-not-cats is a different story though.
