The name of this unusual geological attraction does not come from material that it is made of, because the hills are not made of chocolate (unfortunately), but from the color that hills are covered with: their green color during the dry season becomes brown, which strongly resembles the color of some delicious chocolate. Chocolate Hills were declared for the third national geological monument of the country, and local residents reported a proposal to join the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.

Geologists from all over the world came to see this wonder of nature to find out how the hills formed, and there are many theories about it, but none of them is certain. However, the most widely accepted theory is that the Chocolate Hills are, in fact, coral deposits that have risen from the sea during the great geological movements. Forms that we see today have not always been there, but they are shaped by years from the winds and erosion. But tourists prefer legends about the hill. In each of the legends main characters are giants, which explain the size of the hills.

One of the legends says that two giants had a fight and every day they fiercely were throwing stones and rocks at each other with the intent to destroy each other. However, when they got tired of it, they became friends. Arm in arm they left the place where they were fighting, but they haven’t cleaned up. From the piles of stones and rocks that were thrown away the Chocolate Hills formed.

Another legend has romantic touch: giant Aroga fell in love with a girl who was mortal. Her death really hit him, he was incredibly hurt and sad and heavy tears he cried, caked when they dried up, and they have formed Chocolate Hills.

There are over 1,260 chocolate hills, whose height ranges from 30 to 120 m, which are spread over an area of over 50 km2. From a distance, the hills seem completely symmetrical, beautiful; it's a scene that will leave you breathless, while the question goes through your head: "Is it possible that nature produces such large and numerous perfect domes!"
