Chocolate Hills

The Chocolate Hills are a striking natural formation in the Philippines, consisting of about 1,200 to 1,700 perfectly cone-shaped hills. Covered in green grass, these hills turn brown during the dry season, resembling rows of chocolate mounds—hence the name. They are spread across Bohol Island and are a popular tourist destination due to their unique, uniform shapes and scenic beauty. Geologists believe they result from geological processes like erosion and the uplifting of limestone formations over millions of years. The site offers both natural wonder and cultural significance, attracting visitors interested in geology, landscapes, and local folklore.
