Can-umantad Falls

Reviewed By pauleB4998LW

This will be an adventure for you. Can-umantad falls is the tallest, remotest falls of Bohol, Philippines. The usual Bohol itinerary will take you to the beaches of Panglao and the areas near Tagbilaran City at where you can visit the Loboc river, the chocolate hills and see the tarsiers. But if you have the time and the adventurous spirit, then exploring the eastern side of Bohol will challenge you. Rent a motorbike and drive from Tagbilaran or Panglao to Anda for 2 to 3 hours. We spent the afternoon there swiming in cave pools and swimming in virgin white sand beaches were there are no other souls. You may also reach this by bus. The following morning, we drove 30 minutes from Anda to Candijay where the falls is at. Then we took the rural road climbing up the mountain, it took us about an hour. Alternatively, you can ride a bus from Anda to Candijay and then a habal habal to the falls. Look for the Eleuterio farm where they serve meals, pricey though. There is a stairway there through a rice terraces going down to the falls. Alternatively, there is another route to the falls further up ahead. Just ask around. When you get there, it will be all worth it. There was nobody there but us when we finally arrived. Trully exotic. The height and power of this hidden natural wonder will reward your restless spirit!

Baclayon Church

One of the oldest stone churches in the Philippines.

Reviewed By Eightfiftyfive

We stopped by Baclayon Church - an old church founded by the Jesuits in the 1500s - on our way back to the seaport. PROS: The facade itself will take you back in time, and the interior will give you a sense of history and make you reflect on how deeply rooted the Spanish influence really is in the Philippines. WHAT TO EXPECT: The church is along the road on the way to the seaport. You might spend a lot of time looking up to marvel at the paintings on the ceiling. The church is open for all, but there is a museum on the second floor that you have to pay an entrance fee for. There are a lot of souvenir vendors around, mostly selling Bohol kalamay. (As a side note, the kalamay itself is delicious, but if you plan to take some home, put it in your check-in luggage, as the airport will not allow you to bring it in your carry-on baggage.)

Chocolate Hills Natural Monument

Reviewed By TheTraveller_247 - Siebnen, Switzerland

When you were in Bohol and you did not see the Chocolate Hills you were not really in Bohol. This product of nature really looks great and it’s not only a monument for Bohol also for the whole Philippines. At the Visitor-Center you have the chance to walk about 200 stairs, then you have a nice view from upstairs and there you can also see that they have many of this hills!

It will be fun if you are accompanied by its garden guide who will share with you information about the butterfly garden in a humourous way. Be sure to take the metamorphosis photoshoot (see my pic!).
