[Bohol is one of the most visited places in the Philippines ...I'm from Bohol but I'm even longing to tour around the island and to visit all its fantastic sceneries, rare animals & flowers etc...Now, if you wanna see also how beautiful Bohol is, kindly click this site: http://www.bohol.ph/gallery.php ...for sure you'll also long to visit this beautiful island.]
Nature. Although quite small, the nature and landscape of Bohol is quite diverse. Of course you can see the world famous Chocolate Hills, but also hills covered with trees and surrounded by ricefields in terraces, the 'man made' forest, and through all if this are woven a large number of larger and smaller streams, and an occasional waterfall.
Daily Life. Just some images from daily life on Bohol, both the daily chores as the highlights of life.
Monuments. Scattered throughout Bohol, you will be surprised by the number of old churches and other buildings that still remind us of the centuries of Spanish domination. Although sometimes somewhat dilapidated, and badly in need of restauration, they remind us of our past.
Underwater. Bohol is a true diver's paradise, and although there is plenty to see above sealevel, at least half of the visitors specifically come to Bohol to take a peek under the waves.
Beaches. Bohol is famous for its white beaches, with which it is so richly blessed. Most famous is of course Alona Beach, but many more, more remote and more quiet can be found by the adventurous visitor.
From Outer Space. NASA kindly provided us with a number of pictures of Bohol taken from outer space. Nothing much man-made to be seen, but they are not your everyday touristic snap!
Flowers. No Boholano house is complete without a garden, and you will be surprised how even the simplest houses can be surrounded with numerous beautiful orchids.
Food. Most of the Boholanos still grow and eat their own food. Collected here are pictures of some of the types of food you can expect to find.
Animals. On Bohol, you will be surrounded by animals, mostly domestic. But Bohol is also home to the tiny tarsier, one of the worlds smallest primates.
Transport. There are many ways to go from A to B in Bohol. Of course, you have the ubiquitous Jeepney, but local ingenuity knows no limits if it comes to inventing new means of transportation.
Hotels & Resorts. On Bohol, you can find resorts in various price classes. From world class facilities, where you can find every luxury desired, to the very simple cottages, where even streaming water is not included...
Fiesta Time. Bohol is well known for its many fiestas and festivals. Especially during the month of May, in which not a single day passes without a fiesta somewhere on the island.
Historic Photographs. It is hard to imagine what Bohol looked like a hundred years ago, but old photographs can help us get an impression. A lot has changed, but some things still remain suprizingly the same...
Fruits. In Bohol, you can find plenty of fruits, some well known and common, such as the Mango, some less well know, but still delicious
Vegetables. Besides fruits, you can also find a choice of vegetables on Bohol.
Delicacies. Pasalubong, something to bring home as gifts after a trip is a well-known Filipino tradition. Always good are local varieties of snacks. Each place has its own specialty.
Handicrafts. Philippine handicrafts, such as woodcarvings or basket-ware, make excellent pasalubong (gifts to bring home) or souvenirs.
