The unusual geological formation  of Bohol known as Chocolate Hills are most famous tourist attractions in the Philippines and among the most visited tourist spots in the country. These unusual geological formation  are about 1,268 - 1,776 cone-shaped  hills spread throughout the towns of Carmen, Batuan and Sagbayan with an area of more than 50 square kilometres (20 square miles).

The domes vary in sizes from 30 to 50 metres (98 to 160 ft) high with the largest being 120 metres (390 ft) in height. During summer or dry season, green grass-covered hills turns brown that makes it looks like a rows of chocolate cones. These hills are featured in the provincial seal and flag and have been declared the country's third National Geological Monument and  proposed for inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
