CHOCOLATE HILLS
The Chocolate Hills are probably Bohol's most famous
tourist attraction. They look like giant mole hills, or as
some say, women's breasts, and remind us of the hills
in a small child's drawing. Most people who first see
pictures of this landscape can hardly believe that
these hills are not a man-made artifact. However, this
idea is quickly abandoned, as the effort would surely
surpass the construction of the pyramids in Egypt.
The chocolate hills consist of are no less than 1268
hills (some claim this to be the exact number). They
are very uniform in shape and mostly between 30 and
50 meters high. They are covered with grass, which,
at the end of the dry season, turns chocolate brown.
From this color, the hills derive their name. At other
times, the hills are green, and the association may be
a bit difficult to make.

colonial times. Long before the Spanish galleons, Chinese
junks sailing from the South China Sea came to Isla de
Bigan through the Mestizo River that surrounded the
island. On board were sea-faring merchants that came to
barter exotic goods from Asian kingdoms in exchange for

Chinese, settled in Vigan, intermarried with the natives
