About Us

HISTORY AND
FORMATION OF THE
CHOCOLATE HILLS
The Chocolate Hills are made of
limestone that was deposited over 2
million years ago during the Pleistocene
era. They were formed through a
complex process of weathering and
erosion, which gave them their unique
cone-shaped appearance. The hills are
typically between 30 and 50 meters
high and are covered in grass that turns
brown during the dry season, hence the
name Chocolate Hills.

MYTHS AND LEGENDS
There are several myths and legends that surround
the Chocolate Hills. According to one legend, the
hills were formed by two giants who fell in love and
began throwing boulders and stones at each other.
After a while, they became exhausted and forgot
about their quarrel, leaving behind the hills they
had created.
Another legend suggests that the hills were the
result of a giant’s tears. A giant named Arogo was
said to have fallen in love with a mortal woman
named Aloya. When she died, Arogo wept so much
that his tears formed the Chocolate Hills.
