Bohol's Unmissable Wonders

Bohol offers a landscape defined by the 1,200 symmetrical limestone mounds of the Chocolate Hills and the dense canopy of the Bilar Man-made Forest. The island is the primary habitat for the endangered Philippine Tarsier, one of the world's smallest primates. Cultural landmarks include the 16th-century Blood Compact Site and the coral stone architecture of Baclayon. Coastal highlights center on Panglao Island, featuring the limestone formations of Hinagdanan Cave and the white sand shores of Alona and Dumaluan beaches.
