First stop is the <span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tarsier Sanctuary</span></span> where the world’s smallest primate can be seen in its forest habitat (we always take people to this place rather than seeing the tarsiers in the zoo-like conditions of the Loboc cages…). <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pgHyfU9H2-o/Scb2lOfr3_I/AAAAAAAAATg/XUHKmjO1WMQ/s1600-h/IMGP5644a.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316207529564037106" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pgHyfU9H2-o/Scb2lOfr3_I/AAAAAAAAATg/XUHKmjO1WMQ/s200/IMGP5644a.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 169px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 123px;" /></a>Passing along a <span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">scenic back road</span></span> our next stop is the <span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Butterfly Sanctuary </span></span>where you get an insight into the surprisingly interesting life of butterflies (more trivia to impress people at parties!). We then head up the highway to the world famous <span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chocolate Hills</span></span>.<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pgHyfU9H2-o/Scb2kVeY0gI/AAAAAAAAATI/QwICDyAkw1Q/s1600-h/Chocolate+Hills.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316207514257773058" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pgHyfU9H2-o/Scb2kVeY0gI/AAAAAAAAATI/QwICDyAkw1Q/s200/Chocolate+Hills.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 60px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 200px;" /></a> After dropping by a <span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">local market</span></span> to pick up some food, we visit a pretty <span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">water fall</span></span> where you can swim and picnic. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pgHyfU9H2-o/Scb2mjUeyBI/AAAAAAAAAUI/v-y5AuR5HZY/s1600-h/IMGP7171.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316207552334055442" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pgHyfU9H2-o/Scb2mjUeyBI/AAAAAAAAAUI/v-y5AuR5HZY/s200/IMGP7171.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 106px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 142px;" /></a> From here we stop by the <span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">hanging bridge</span></span>. Here you can pick up some local souvenirs and you might get the once in a lifetime opportunity of witnessing a guy opening a coconut with his teeth! <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pgHyfU9H2-o/Scb2mP1-ocI/AAAAAAAAAT4/2-5b0DxzgcI/s1600-h/IMGP7172.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316207547105845698" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pgHyfU9H2-o/Scb2mP1-ocI/AAAAAAAAAT4/2-5b0DxzgcI/s200/IMGP7172.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 110px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 147px;" /></a>On our way home we can drop into the historic <span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Baclayon Church</span></span>, said to be one of the oldest in the Philippines.<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> </div>The west coast is an area that few tourists every see, but we will show you some spots that make it just as good as anywhere in Bohol. On this trip we take you on the rarely-traveled <span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">back roads</span></span> beyond the lively <span style="font-size: 100%;">market town</span> of Antequera. Every Sunday there is a great <span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">handicraft market</span></span> in Antiquera where all the villagers come to sell their beautiful woven products (baskets, pots, mats, lampshades, boxes, hats, etc) to wholesalers. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pgHyfU9H2-o/Scb42Ko0C0I/AAAAAAAAAVk/J1HuBsahuqc/s1600-h/IMGP6635.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316210019609611074" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pgHyfU9H2-o/Scb42Ko0C0I/AAAAAAAAAVk/J1HuBsahuqc/s200/IMGP6635.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 163px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 122px;" /></a>In the mountains we stop off for a swim at a beautiful set of <span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">cascading waterfalls</span></span> that no-one but the local kids visit, taking as long as you want to bath in the green, fast-flowing water. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pgHyfU9H2-o/Scb41vZze1I/AAAAAAAAAVc/irCWkVsvWt8/s1600-h/Tubigdaco+falls.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316210012298902354" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pgHyfU9H2-o/Scb41vZze1I/AAAAAAAAAVc/irCWkVsvWt8/s200/Tubigdaco+falls.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 61px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 202px;" /></a>From there we head back down out of the hills on a scenic meandering drive punctuated by <span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">viewpoints</span></span> of the west coast. After picking up some supplies, we will take you to a chilled out spot where a long <span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">bamboo walkway</span></span> reaches out over the water so you can have a lazy lunch interrupted only by swims in the ocean below. There's also a Karaoke machine at the sari-sari store, it is the favoured pastime of Filipinos- you may sing your heart out with the locals.<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pgHyfU9H2-o/Scb40XH45mI/AAAAAAAAAVE/lhG7MtQcBAo/s1600-h/IMGP7371.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316209988601439842" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pgHyfU9H2-o/Scb40XH45mI/AAAAAAAAAVE/lhG7MtQcBAo/s200/IMGP7371.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 159px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 119px;" /></a>When you’re ready, we stop off in the town of Loon to visit Bohol’s <span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">largest church</span></span> and historic coral stone steps. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pgHyfU9H2-o/Scb51j_pjEI/AAAAAAAAAWA/r4HH4TVIHDA/s1600-h/IMGP7570.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316211108748037186" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pgHyfU9H2-o/Scb51j_pjEI/AAAAAAAAAWA/r4HH4TVIHDA/s200/IMGP7570.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 161px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 120px;" /></a>Time permitting, we can take a quiet drink over the <span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">serene Maribojoc bay</span></span> for a perfect finish to the day.<br />
