One Day in Bohol!

Travelling will certainly give you something to tell. You will unfold a story that will lives forever. The euphoria of travel doesn't fade. And while there's time let's enjoy the taste of the earth!


Bohol is a first income class island province of the Philippines located in the central Visayas region, consisting of the island itself and 75 minor surrounding islands. Its capital is Tagbiliran City. To the west of Bohol is Cebu, to the northeast is the island of the Leyte and to the south, across the Bohol sea is Mindanao. One of the best  tourist destinations for beaches and resorts. 




From Cebu City, we took two hours by boat before reaching Tubigon Port Bohol. I hired a van which provided a one day service to explore the place.










The famous Chocolate Hills. A geological formation in the Bohol province. There are at least 1,260 hills but there may be as many as 1, 776 hills spread over the area of more than 50 square kilometers (20 sq mi). They are covered in green grass that turns brown (like chocolate) during the dry season, hence the name. They are featured in the provincial flag and seal to symbolize the abundance of natural attractions in the province. They are in Philippine Tourism Authority's list of tourist destination in the Philippines. They have been declared the country's third National Geographical Monument and proposed for inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage list.

The highland formation is a rolling terrain. Climbing hills required adrenaline stimulation. But the top is a breath-taking view. Such a piece of perfection. This is the day we aim to kiss the sky.






Bohol Python 

I actually hate snakes but my sisters were persistent. Me and my cousin stayed on the van. While my sisters took a snap and meet the tamed, medium-giant snakes inside. 




Man-Made Forest.

Casually walking along man's masterpiece. Places like this is usually featured on movies. I can't believe we're actually wandering in such cooling green nature.













Butterfly Farm. Butterfly garden is one of Bohol's nature preservation area. One spectacular place preferably for science-lover people who has unending curiosity over matters and knowledge. In the orientation area, we were provided by a local tour guide who tried his best to bring out fun, very accommodating and informative.  He has all words about everything we have seen.











Loboc Floating Restaurant. Our tummies gone wild. The sun's rays were on peak. We decided to step over the most talk of the town  to feed our hunger. A lunch plus an hour river cruise is the highlight of the day. One of the cleanest river in the country.. We experienced cruising along the river on board small  bancas or floating restaurant while taking our lunch.  It is also the home of Loboc Children's Choir. They greeted us with a  very heart warming native song. It defines how the locals entertained visitors and other tourists. This itinerary is something you will never want to miss. 









San Antonio De Padua Parish

We cannot end our trip without seeking God's home and give Him thanks for the wonderful opportunity to behold His greatest creations. Good bye Bohol! It's definitely not the last. Just tune in to my next travel statement.
