THE PHILLIPINES' CHOCOLATE HILLS INSPIRE CRAVINGS AND LEGENDS

This gorgeous geomorphologic structure, known as migote, is like a giant field of moguls as it rumples the earth in Bohol, Philippines. A unique limestone condition forms these hills, which turn brown seasonally and have long reminded visitors of tempting heaps of chocolate.

Local legends run wild in attempt to explain these magical formations -- from battling giants to a forlorn lover’s tears. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1988, the Chocolate Hills are protected today but do face destruction as local pressure to mine the hills for minerals mounts.
