Bohol, Philippines: Off the Tourist TrailThe Philippines is a nation of more than 7,000 islands and I would have to say that Bohol is one of my favorites. Its people are some of the friendliest, the underwater world is exceptional and the topside is not to shabby either. While Bohol is one of the most visited islands in the Philippines, there are many places which are seen by few. These destinations contain the true life-blood of Boholano culture. Help support local communities and see a bit of real Bohol style by visting these less seen towns and joining some fascinating community-based tours. |
