Bohol is a treasure island of natural wonders.
The stunning Chocolate Hills at the heart of the province never fail to amaze. From the viewing deck at the Chocolate Hills Complex in Carmen or from the vantage point at Sagbayan Peak, one can indulge in the breathtaking panorama of 1,268 nature-sculpted hills.
Pristine freshwater rivers, waterfalls, and ice-cold springs sprinkled all over the island still sparkle with unspoiled splendor.
A trip through the quaint countryside treats one to a living palette of golden ricefields and verdant meadows. The shores of the country's tenth largest island are profuse with some of the most biologically diverse mangrove ecosystems, including a 400-hectare mangrove plantation found in Banacon Island in the town of Getafe, in the northeastern end of Bohol, which, incidentally, is the largest mangrove reforestation in Asia.
The bounty and the beauty of nature unsullied runs prime in the Boholano consciousness and efforts towards its preservation and sustainability are fervent and deeply rooted.
