Bohol
Chocolate Hills & Carmen

Bohol's iconic 1,200+ cones plus tarsier sanctuaries — inland viewpoint country.
The central Bohol municipality of Carmen contains the official Chocolate Hills viewing platform (214 steps up) and the nearby Adventure Park (zipline, ATV across the hills). Within an hour west sits the Philippine Tarsier Sanctuary at Corella — the proper conservation site, not the tourist-trap version on the way to Loboc. Few traveller beds here — most arrive on day-tours from Panglao.
