The Chocolate Hills – View from Sagbayan Peak

April 27, 2010 4 Comments

There’s one thing that comes to mind when Bohol Island mentioned—the wonderful Chocolate Hills. I was in Bohol for a night and two days! It was a short trip bonding with my fabulous friends I’ve never seen for eight years! 

There are two viewing deck for tourists to see the Chocolate Hills in two different panoramas. One is at Sagbayan Peak and the other is at Carmen Peak, the most famous one. Both offer excellent panoramic view of the Chocolate Hills near and far. 

Some hills are covered in green grasses and some are bald, brownish (like a chocolate!). They look like hershey chocolates! They’re breathtaking! Gazing down from where you stand, these chocolate hills are mesmerizing. You’ll be amazed by its natural beauty. You’d wonder, “How the hell did this stuff happened?

It’s a hilly climb up there in concrete steps. Remember this: “When everything feels like an uphill struggle, just think of the view from the top.

If you think those mounds are man-made, you’re so wrong! Google how these chocolate hills formed.

Sometimes, they look like sleeping giants, or a turd, or a pair of boobs?

What if this mounds produce real chocolate? Would you just stick your fingers on it and or lick them?
