BOHOL: Sagbayan Peak




Sagbayan is a 5th class municipality in the province of Bohol, Philippines.
According to the 2007 census, it has a population of 19,399 people. (courtesy of wikipedia)





Its main attraction is Sagbayan Peak, which is an observation platform
and childrens' playground overlooking a scenic valley. While some similar hill
formations are visible, it is not within the main Chocolate Hills area.







A latest introduction to the many man-made attractions in the province,
this scenic spot is located in the municipality of Sagbayan. It is made up of two huge
hills that are connected with a long stretch of cemented steps.



T-rex on the picture with me .. one the greeters you would see on the front liners
of one of the tourist destination here in the part of BOHOL.




On the other side, there's what they call the WATER PARK.
Which during our visit is still on developing that side.






A butterfly sanctuary, tarsier cage and statues of famous animated characters
and prehistoric creatures are additional features that can be found
scattered on specific areas.




If you want to get a much closer view of the surrounding mounds,
one can rent a viewing telescope for just 10 pesos and make some moments like this.






The second hill has a rotunda on top of it where one can get a
good view of neighboring hills




At a bird’s eye view, this attraction is a park built on top of two hills.

The food on the restaurant serves very delicious food. I like the idea that while your dining-in you can see the view of the neighboring hills. The atmosphere is very nice though during our visit there's not so much of people except for us and some personnel and a few who are just about to go out.

Its from 8am - 5pm tour at php 2500 for the rent of the entire VAN but you can arrange more depending on what have been compromise between you and the driver.
