Bohol Island, Philippines

I was cycling through some slides at the website of the Travel Channel this morning and came across a page and photo for Bohol Island in the Philippines.  The specific area featured is "Carmen."  It is spectacular and spectacularly weird.  The description on the page reads:

These rolling hills, sprouting like giant moguls throughout the central towns and countryside of Bohol Island, were declared the third National Geological Monument of the Philippines. They’re made of grass-covered limestone, but local legend says that they were formed when 2 feuding giants hurled rocks and boulders at each other during a violent brawl. Their mossy green turns a cocoa brown in the dry season, hence the name, and tourists visit them at sunrise for the otherworldly views.

This is a place that I have to see before I die.
