📍 Destination Overview
Bohol, an island in the central Visayas of the Philippines facing Cebu, awes with the Chocolate Hills, a thousand rounded hillocks drying to chocolate-brown in the dry season. Home to the tarsier, a tiny big-eyed primate, it also offers a raft cruise on the Loboc River, the man-made forest and the Spanish-era Baclayon Church; nearby Panglao adds white Alona Beach for diving.
