Chocolate Hills

Arguably one of the most popular attractions of the Philippines is non other than the Chocolate Hills. Be warned though, these hills may have a sweet name but it doesn't taste like chocolate at all! The reason why this name came to be is that the hills' grass turns brown during the summer causing them to look like chocolate.
