I've been to Bohol a number of times after a good friend, Geemiz.com Blogger, introduced me to this lovely island. When I think of Bohol, I always see it with vast white sand in Panglao and Anda or the famous Chocolate Hills or the world-class resorts such as in Amorita Resort. But we had a different taste of Bohol last weekend when we visited one of the most beautiful mountains/hills in the province, The Alicia Panoramic Park (TAPP) - it has New Zealand Feels when you reached at the top!

That's me, feeling the moment!

The Alicia Panoramic Park (TAPP) features the breathtaking landscape of Binabaje Hills of Barangay Cambaol in Alicia Municipality. The hills, which rise to 400 meters above sea level, are mostly covered in tropical perennial grasses commonly known as Cogon. These tall green grasses wave gently as the breeze passes, giving a soft furry-like appearance to the hills, which is composed primarily of metamorphic rock - the Alicia Schist, the oldest rock in Bohol (late Jurrasic - Early Cretaceous ) Many adventure-seekers enjoy trekking the ridge trails over the hills and the picture-perfect and stunning green scenery.
