Enjoying the personal view of the rolling terrain of Chocolate Hills was one of the tourist highlights in Bohol. Prior to having lunch at Loboc River Cruise, we exhausted ourselves by climbing the 214 steps leading us to the observation deck where one can view the hills up close and even count them!

One of us even wanted to back out because of the height, but in the end she continued and didn’t mind or she’d be left alone below! Fairly well, the 214 steps was worth it! Upon reaching the observation deck, a beautiful sight greeted us and gave us excitement to play with the hills.  The Chocolate Hills was indeed a great wonder of nature. But how these hills were formed?

A local tour guide explained that they were formed when tectonic process happened millions of years ago causing the seabed to uplift. From there, I realized that these hills were not piles of mud which formed underground but are limestone.

Baclayon Church and Prony’s Sanctum are both situated in Albuquerque, Bohol. So, after a quick visit to Baclayon Church, our driver led us to Albur’s star Prony, the largest and longest python in captivity.

Prony was named after her captor, Sofronio Salibay. Prony is a female and was captured on October 21, 1996 in a local cemetery in Albur (also known as Albuquerque) at approximately 5 meters and 5 kilograms back then. To date, Prony is now 23 feet (7 meters) long and 300 kilograms with 30 inches body circumference which is freaking bigger than my tummy. She is growing every year.

Not sure if this place is Bohol’s Butterfly Garden, Farm, or a Conservation Center. I lost the entrance ticket to this place, so I’m not really sure sorry. Some photos taken inside.

Baclayon Church is one of the main tourist attractions in Bohol because of its oldness and interesting façade. It was said that a part of Baclayon was a dungeon which was used to punish natives who violated the rules of the Roman Catholic Church during 1800s.

There also a big upside down ecclesial painting on the wall on top of the altar ceiling which made the interior very cunning.

Everything in this church is old starting from its ceiling to floorings. Unlike other churches, Baclayon Church has refined regular-sized vintage paintings hanging on every pillars inside. I also saw a very old organ on the second floor which was in very poor condition. Read more…
