Chocolate Hills Site Features

A tentative description

Looking from above, the hills, which look like hundreds of chocolate kisses lain on the ground, appear to have been made almost symmetrical by humans on purpose. For the first time, people who would see these small dome-shaped mountains would find it unbelievable that they actually are natural formations.

Aside from grass, these little mountains also grow sugar cane, flowers and ferns. The flatlands in between the hills are cultivated and used to grow rice and other crops. The Chocolate Hills are actually mounds of limestone covered in grass and the other above-mentioned plant life.

This natural wonder site is considered one of the top National Monuments in the Philippines. The spectacular landscape is being reviewed to be included in the list of Heritage Sites by UNESCO.

The sightseeing of this unique mountainous region is also an important source of tourism revenues for the island of Bohol.
