A Experiência
Upon hearing the name of the place, I immediately thought of something sweet. The Chocolate Hills in Bohol is one of the reasons why Bohol is considered to be one of the prime tourist destinations in the Philippines.The sight that you will see the moment you get to Bohol's Chocolate Hills is indeed sweet, mesmerizing and breathtaking. I asked around why its name is Chocolate Hills and I found out that the green grass that covers the 1,776 hills turns brown during dry season. In short, during the summer season, these hills look like thousands of chocolate mounds. These Chocolate Hills maybe rare, but they are certainly not unique. Fact of the matter is, there are also similar formation that can be found in Australia, Indonesia and Slovenia. What made this Chocolate Hills stand out than the rest is the fact that they have simpler shape, they don't have caves underneath them and they look very spectacular. Geologists have different stories behind its formation. However, most of them agree that these hills are remnants of an uplifted seafloor that is weather by rain and wind. Local legends say that these formations were caused by two giants who are arguing and fighting with each other. They got so pissed off with each other that they threw mounds of soil at each other. There are two ways to view the Chocolate Hills. One is by going to the Chocolate Hills Complex that can be found in Carmen, Bohol. This government owned resort caters to tourist and serves as the original viewing station of the famous Chocolate Hills. Another way to view the hills is by going to what the locals refer to as the Sagbayan peak.
Quando ir
A melhor época para visitar o Chocolate Hills é durante o verão nas Filipinas. De janeiro até abril, esses montes correr em marrom do verde. Os coqueiros, vegetação e campos de arroz verde durante a temporada de verão. A coisa boa é que mesmo se você começar a entrar na estação chuvosa, o Chocolate Hills ainda está ótimo. Madrugadas e fins de tarde são o melhor momento do dia para ver e tirar fotos nas Colinas de Chocolate. Este é o momento do dia, quando os raios do sol f colocar baixo, assim, a forma cônica das colinas são enfatizadas.
