    Mt. Mayon
    Chocolate Hills

    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. The chocolate hills consist of are no less than
    1268 hills). 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.
    Banaue Rice Terraces

    The Banaue Rice Terraces have often been called the "Eighth Wonder of the
    World" due to the extent and height of these gigantic stairways. They soar for
    several thousand feet upwards and extend for miles. Standing at the terrace
    viewpoint, the green steps extend for as far as the eye can see. This engineering
    marvel was created 2000 years ago, hand-carved out of the mountains by the
    Ifugao tribe before the Coloseum was erected in Rome or Hadrian's Wall in the
    UK. The terraces of Banaue are irrigated by mountain springs, and the same
    families that farmed them thousands of years ago maintain many of them.
    Philippine Eagle

    The Philippine Eagle, Pithecophaga jefferyi, also known as the Great


    Philippine Eagle or Monkey-eating Eagle, is among the rarest, largest,
    and most powerful birds in the world. This bird of prey is endemic to
    forests in the Philippines, where it is the national bird. It has numerous
    local names, includingAgila, Haribon, Haring Ibon (which means "Bird
    King") and banog. Killing this critically endangered species is punishable
    under Philippine law by twelve years in jail and heavy fines.
    Hundred Islands

    The Hundred Islands National Park (Pangasinan: Kapulo-


    puloan or Taytay-Bakes) is in the province of Pangasinan in
    northern Philippines. It is located in Alaminos City, Pangasinan. The islands
    (124 at low tide and 123 at high tide) are scattered along Lingayen Gulf and
    cover an area of 18.44 square kilometres (4,557 acres). They are believed to be
    about two million years old.
    Mt. Mayon

    Mayon has the classic conical shape of a stratovolcano. It is the most active 
    volcano in the Philippines. Since 1616, Mayon has erupted 47 times. The
    beautifully symmetrical Mayon volcano, which rises to 2,460 meters
    above the Albay Gulf, is the Philippines' most active volcano. The
    structurally simple volcano has steep upper slopes that average 35-40
    degrees and is capped by a small summit crater.
