The Chocolate Hills are not made of chocolate but are a geological wonder of over 1,000 perfectly cone-shaped hills.
The Chocolate Hills are located on the island of Bohol in the Philippines. Specifically, they are primarily concentrated in the towns of Carmen, Batuan, and Sagbayan.
According to local legends, the hills were formed from the tears of a giant who cried over unrequited love.
The hills are home to the critically endangered tarsier, one of the world's smallest primates.
During the dry season, the grass on the hills turns brown, resembling chocolate, hence the name "Chocolate Hills.
The best time to see the Chocolate Hills in their chocolatey glory is during the dry months of April and May.
The Chocolate Hills were declared a National Geologic Monument and a protected area in 1988.
There are two main viewing points: Carmen, where you can climb the 214 steps of the Chocolate Hills Complex, and Sagbayan Peak.
Most of the hills are approximately 30 to 50 meters tall, giving them a uniform and surreal appearance.
There have been discussions about nominating the Chocolate Hills as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
