Bohol: a cute encounter..

Bigger eyes than brain and can hold in the palm of your hand: this is the Filipino tarsier!

Bohol is famous for its conservation effort of one of the smallest primate on earth: the cute little tarsier. Nocturnal and fragile, it is threatened by its habitat loss and the pet trade. We visited the tarsier foundation where this little animal can enjoy 200 hectares of freedom. Another particularity of the island are the "chocolate hills". Formed by millions of year of erosion on a limestone landscapes, they look like... well you'll choose:-). And of course, we enjoyed a beautiful day of snorkeling in the amazing reef of Balicasag island closed by. One part had been damaged by a typhoon in November but the rest was just stunning...




Hard to stay awake during the day for this nocturnal hunter..
