“The Chocolate Hills are a geological formation in the Philippine province of Bohol. A minimum of 1,260 hills, and possibly over 1,776, 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, hence the name.”
