We almost missed this, the Eighth Wonder of the World, the Chocolate Hills (Mga Tsokolateng Burol, or Mga Burol na Tsokolate) because we were too tired from exploring Bohol. Wah! We decided last minute to go for it and I am so glad we did. We made it there in time to trek the 214 steps to enjoy the panoramic views.
The Chocolate Hills are a geological formation in the Philippine province of Bohol made up of over 1,200 cone-shaped karst hills spread over an area of more than 50 square kilometers (20 sq mi). They are covered in green grass that turns a chocolate-brown during the dry season, making them look like chocolate hills. They are recognized as the Philippines’ 3rd National Geological Monument featured on the PHP200 bill.

I made it to the top of the 214 steps, took a few breathtaking snaps, descended back down, and hit the comfort room (CR) before the downpour.
