There are some islands that are designed to be photographed and converted into postcards. Bohol in the southern Philippines, is one of the lucky ones. A jewel that brings lush greenery, exotic wildlife, and beaches spectacular, with an interesting international policy. Bohol
consists of one main island and 70 other smaller islands. The largest island and known among the small is called Panglao, west of Bohol. There is the city of Tagbilaran. Beaches
Alona Beach in Panglao Island, must be one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. Without subjectivities. The water is filled with blue sparkles with sunlight, and you can see directly the sandy bottom. The palm trees bend to the sand that is the purest of whites, and the fantastic reinforces these charms to turn the sky red. By nightfall, the island's restaurants put chairs and tables on the coast and multiply grilled seafood. Although this target is relatively calm, there is a beach bar "Oops Bar" which invites those who are in the mood to celebrate.
If not the beach?
The brave who decide to leave the beach with interesting things to see how the Chocolate Hills (Chocolate Hills). These formations, more than 1,200 limestone hills shaped like a cone, are so called because of its extreme similarity with Hershey chocolates. According to legend these formations are the result of the struggle between two giants. For several days these huge figures were released stones together, when they finally got tired and left the island, leaving behind a huge mess, no less than the Chocolate Hills. In fact, this training is a geographical anomaly produced by a combination of time and malleable clay and limestone.
No trip to the chocolate hills would be complete without an observation of the tarsiers found along the road. These little creatures with enormous eyes are one of the smallest primates on earth and native of Bohol and are in danger of extinction. Some biologists argue that this species can only survive in this space, but unfortunately it is often sold on the black market. Many shrines of tarsiers in Bohol can see these friendly animals up close, for a small fee that is used to support the parks. For those visiting the parks is important to remember that there be no flash photography, because this light can leave them blind.
And for those interested in diving in the local culture, an excellent option is a visit to the Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, one of the oldest churches in the Philippines, the legacy of the English missionaries who settled in the region . Getting

Cebu Ferries depart every day and the trip takes between an hour and a half to two hours. In short, if you travel to the Philippines is not necessary to go into the Manila hotels, as in the provinces there is a very interesting world.
