If you’re on your way to Carmen where the Chocolate Hills is located, you'll surely pass by a stretch of mahogany forest in Loboc and Bilar. According to the locals there, thousands of Mahogany trees were planted by the people of Bohol primarily to avoid flash floods in the area. But because of the picturesque landscape resulted by the formation of the lush green forest, it then became one of the tourist attractions of Bohol.
Do not miss to stop by this area before you proceed to see the Chocolate Hills. Tourists would normally spend at least 10 minutes here to view the forest, feel the natural coolness of the location, and at the same time take pictures. The Mahogany Man-made Forest in Loboc and Bilar is 37 kms from Tagbilaran City.
About 5 minutes away from the Mahogany Forest is where the Simply Butterflies Conservation Center is located. This center aims to protect and preserve the natural environment of the butterflies by means of research, breeding and releasing.
