The Chocolate Hills are probably Bohol's most famous tourist attraction. They
look like giant mole hills, or as some say, women's breasts, and remind us of
the hills in a small child's drawing. However, this idea is quickly abandoned, as
the effort would surely surpass the construction of the pyramids in Egypt. The
chocolate hills consist of are no less than 1268 hills (some claim this to be the
exact number). They are very uniform in shape and mostly between 30 and 50
meters high. They are covered with grass, which, at the end of the dry season,
turns chocolate brown. From this color, the hills derive their name. At other
times, the hills are green, and the association may be a bit difficult to make.
