The Philippines is an archipelago of over 7,000 islands and boasts one of the most biodiverse environments in the world. Bohol is one of these islands, famous for its "chocolate hills" and lush river forests. At the southern tip of Bohol, there is Panglao, also a small island, although connected with bridges. If you look at a map, Bohol looks like the body and Panglao the head of a turtle.
