Laid-Back Bohol Travel Adventure (Cebu-Bohol Part 2)

Bohol is part of the Central Visayas Region and just an hour ferry ride away from Cebu City. :) When we booked our ticket to Cebu City, we have already agreed to explore Bohol as well.

We booked a roundtrip ferry ride to Tagbilaran one week before our travel date, so as to avail the return trip promo. We got our ticket for only Php 830 round-trip. We chose to travel early in the morning, so as not to be shocked with the big waves (its our first time to ride a ferry). We already had our contact in Tagbilaran port, Mang Pedring who will be our service driver/guide in Tagbilaran. We rented the van for Php 3,500 for 1 1/2 day.

We only have limited time, so we started to explore the usual tourist destination of Bohol.

Blood Compact Site in Bool, Tagbilaran City

The site was made in honor of the historical event "Sandugo" between  Miguel Lopez de Legazpi of Spain and Rajah Sikatuna of Bohol.

Baclayon Church

Baclayon Church or the Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception is one of the oldest church in th Philippines. The church is made of coral stones.

Note: If you're wearing short shorts/skirt and sleeveless blouse upon entering the church, do not be shocked if somebody approached you and put a shawl to cover your legs and arms. They're conservative with the attire.

 Tarsier Encounter

 Tarsier is the world's smallest primate which was always mistaken as a specie of monkey. These little creatures are nocturnal and is part of Bohol's trademark.

Note: when taking a picture of tarsier, turn-off your flash. Tarsiers are suicidal creatures when they're stressed-out/pressured/afraid. Camera flash aggrevates the stress on these creatures.

Bohol Man-made Forest

Bohol man-made forest are mostly composed of mahogany trees which stretches about 2kms. It was a project of Boy Scout of the Philippines in Bohol (that's according to our driver Mang Pedring).

Bohol Man-made Forest is on the main road going to Bohol's famous Chocolate Hills. Tourists stop at the area to took pictures. Be careful with approaching vehicles when taking pictures in the middle of the road, like what we did in this picture :)
