Bohol Countryside Tour Itinerary

1. Bohol Blood Compact Shrine And Monument

The countryside tour begins with a stop at the Blood Compact Site in Tagbilaran City, where you will learn about one of the most significant events in Philippine history. This site commemorates a peace treaty that was signed between Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna, a native chieftain.

2. Baclayon Church

Next on our list is Baclayon Church – one of the oldest stone churches in Asia that was built during the Spanish colonial era in 1727. This church once served as both a place of worship and as a fortress against invading forces.

3. Bohol Tarsier Sanctuary

A trip to Bohol would only be complete with seeing these cute little creatures! Tarsiers are one of the world’s smallest primates and are found only in Southeast Asia. At The Tarsier Sanctuary, you can observe these nocturnal animals up close and personal while learning about their conservation efforts.

4. Loboc Bohol River Cruise

After seeing some historical sites and wildlife, it is time to relax with a cruise along Loboc River while enjoying buffet lunch aboard one of their floating restaurants! This peaceful river offers stunning views of lush forests and towering cliffs that will leave you breathless. (This is optional)

5. Chocolate Hills And Observatory

Finally, we arrive at arguably Bohol’s most famous attraction – the Chocolate Hills! The hills are a group of over 1,200 geological formations that look like chocolate mounds during the dry season. You can climb up one of the viewing decks to see an unobstructed view of this unique natural wonder.

6. Bilar Man-Made Forest

On your way back to Tagbilaran City, you will have a chance to visit a man-made forest in Bilar town. This dense forest was created as part of Bohol’s reforestation program and is now home to different species of trees and plants.

7. Butterfly Sanctuary

Another stop on the way back is the Butterfly Sanctuary in Bilar town, where you can witness thousands of butterflies fluttering around freely in their natural habitat. This sanctuary also serves as an educational facility for visitors who want to learn more about butterfly breeding and conservation efforts.

8. Hanging Bridge at Sevilla

For those who seek adventure, a crossing on the Hanging Bridge in Sevilla town is highly recommended! This suspension bridge made with bamboo planks stretches over the Sipatan River and offers stunning views of the surrounding lush greenery.

9. Prony Python Sanctuary

The final destination on our countryside tour is Prony Python Sanctuary which is located in Alburquerque town. This sanctuary houses one of the world’s largest pythons named “Prony” which weighs about 200 kg (440 lbs). Visitors can also encounter other animals, such as monkeys, birds, and reptiles here.
