Bilar's Man-made Forest

One of the attractions in Bohol is the man-made forest in the boundary of the Municipalities of Bilar and Loboc. One cannot surely miss this spot on the way to the world-known Chocolate Hills.

The man-made forest is a two-kilometer stretch of red and white mahogany trees planted to replace those affected by kaingin (slash-and-burn) -- a testament that something can still be done for the mother earth.

The kaleidoscope and the cooler temperature makes it a favorite stopover for tourists.

Most drivers, however, are mum on the forest. But one can always ask and request for a quick stopover.
