Chocolate Hills, Philippines

On Bohol Island, which belongs to the Philippines, there is a wonderfully beautiful place - the chocolate hills. On the territory of the extensive tropical forest, a few hundreds of hills rise, reminiscent of the giant chocolate truffles. For many years, the mysterious hills have been one of the most unusual sights of natural origin on earth. Until now, the scientists are unanimous about the version of their show. The locals connect a lot of the interesting legends with the chocolate hills.

The exact number of hills is unknown. According to some data, there are from 1 500 to 1 700 hills. With a view to the fact that the surface of the picturesque island forms 50 sqkm, this dense arrangement of the hills seems really strange. The height of the hills is different and forms from 30 to 121 meters. However, not all hills can be called 'chocolates'. Almost all the hills are covered with the lush green grass, and when it begins to fade, it gives the hills the coffee shades. The hills look particularly impressive after the rain when the grass gets wet.

The fantastic landscape that can be seen on the Bohol Island is unique. According to the main version of the scientists, it has formed as a result of volcanic activity. Until recently, the hills called Carmen Hills. As a 'chocolate hill', a tourist from the USA called it. He compared the panorama from one of the high hills with the box of 'Hershey Kisses' chocolates. Since then the landmark has an original unofficial name. Next - Fly Geyser
