The island province of Bohol, the tenth largest island of the Philippines archipelago, boasts plenty of natural beauty and a distinct cultural heritage of which the islanders are very proud. Known for its paradisical beaches, consider by many to be the best in the country, and its unusual landscapes – most notably the Chocolate Hills, it is a glorious place to explore. With plenty of small islands off of its coastline as well as jungles and waterfalls, Bohol’s most famous resident is the indigenous Philippine tarsier monkey, one of the world’s smallest primates. These cute, bug-eyed creatures are the poster-creatures for both the islands and the Philippines’ as a whole, so seeking some out – at one of the beautifully set sanctuaries for example, is a must while visiting this beautiful island.
