Tarsier and Chocolate Hills

5 Stunden
Explore the natural wonders and unique biodiversity of Bohol. Begin with a poignant visit to a dedicated 100-hectare forest reserve committed to the protection of the Philippine Tarsier (Tarsius syrichta). Often recognized by their extraordinarily large, round eyes, these small, nocturnal primates are among the world's smallest—measuring only 4 to 5 inches long and weighing a mere 113 to 142 grams. You will enjoy a closely supervised encounter with these delicate creatures within a secure, naturalized one-hectare enclosure, guided by a trained ranger. Enhance your understanding by meeting Lito Pizarras, the renowned 'Tarsier Man,' whose lifelong dedication to studying and conserving tarsier behavior has been instrumental in the species' protection. Continue your journey into the ecological heart of the island at the Rajah Sikatuna National Park in Bilar. This stop offers an opportunity to hike through a regenerating secondary forest, providing a deeper insight into Bohol's rich native flora and fauna. Keep an eye out for diverse bird species and unique plant life thriving within this protected habitat. Conclude the experience at the majestic Chocolate Hills, a globally recognized geological marvel and an aspiring UNESCO Global Geosite. Spread across a vast 50-square-kilometer area, this landscape features over 1,776 symmetrical, dome-shaped hills that turn a distinct chocolate-brown color during the dry season. Enjoy breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views from the elevated Visitor Complex, easily accessible by vehicle, or choose to ascend the 230 steps to the observation deck for the ultimate vantage point.
