Discovering the Country Side
As I have said on The Adventure Begins, this trip was my 2nd time in Bohol, first for Raff and Pepsi. The tour started at 9:30am.
First stop, Blood Compact or Sandugo. It's a sealed of friendships between Spanish explorer Miguel Lopez de Legaspi and Datu Sikatuna, the chieftain of Bohol on March 15, 1565.
Baclayon Church
Loboc River Cruise and Floating Restaurant
Loboc river is one of the major tourist destinations in Bohol. Visitors will be cruising the Loboc River and treated with sumptuous Filipino cuisine and local delicacies in the floating restaurants and will be serenaded with in-boat singers. Tourists will be charge a minimal amount of 450Php for the food and entrance fee.
Prony the Phyton. Bohol biggest and longest python in captivity. As of 2005, Prony measured 23 feet and estimated weight of 200kg. To date, it was estimated weight at about 600kg according to the caretaker.
Philippine Tarsier
The Philippine Tarsier is small and it measures only about 3 to 6 inches in height and it's endangerd. Tarsier can rotate their heads at 180 degrees. The eyes are disproportionately big. There have been 12 tarsiers that visitors can sight at the conservation area and more than 100 tarsiers in the breeding area. Female tarsier can only produce one offspring per gestation.
Chocolate Hills
Your visit to Bohol will never be complete without visiting the famous geological hills formation of the Chocolate Hills. The hills were covered with green grass during wet season and turns brown like chocolate during dry season, hence the name came from.
Bohol Butterfly Farm
Here, we were entertained by the local tourist guide in the orientation area. She showed us the biggest butterfly and the biggest moth in the country. The tour guide informed us the cycle of the butterfly from egg, to caterpillar, to pupa (very beautiful) and to a full grown butterfly.
Bohol Man-Made Forest
The Bohol Man-Made Forest is densely planted of mahogany trees stretching the national road in the border of Loboc and Bilar towns. Our tour guide said it was planted by students from their local university.
