Hinagdanan Cave Hinagdanan Cave is a place for nature trekking and for a cool dip. Located in Bingag, Dauis (Panglao Island), this naturally lighted cavern with its deep lagoon and magnificent stalactites and stalagmites formation, boasts of yet another mesmerizing spot nature could offer.	Man-made Forest In the 1960's, a nationwide reforestation program was launched by the government under, then president, Diosdado Macapagal. In Bohol, spearheaded by then governor Lino Chatto, thousands of Mahogany seedlings were planted on a cleared area of 857.4 hectares in Bilar and Loboc towns. For many years now, the lush green forest is being enjoyed by everyone who passes through it. Thousands of Mahogany trees can be seen along the road as you travel to Chocolate Hills. A sidetrip can be refreshing as the ambience is cool and peaceful.
Mag-aso Falls Mag-aso, which literally means "smoking", is a twin falls of about 25 feet high. Located amidst lush green vegetation, Mag-aso Falls is a favorite place for nature trek. During summer, people from the city and the nearby towns come here to take a plunge or just enjoy the cool and refreshing surroundings. Mag-aso Falls is in the town of Antequera, known for its native handicrafts, which is 20 kilometers from Tagbilaran City.	Dauis Church Dauis Church is one of the oldest churches in the Philippines. It was built in the year 1697, its design largely influenced by Romanesque and Byzantine architecture. Beautiful frescoes painted in 1916 by a painter named Ray Francia decorate the entire ceiling of the church. What makes the church more interesting and unique is the well near the altar that, as legend has it, suddenly emerged when the inhabitants, seeking refuge inside the church from an impending invasion of pirates, were about to starve. Until now the well provides potable water for the people especially during dry seasons. Dauis of Panglao Island is just 3 kilometers from Tagbilaran City. It takes a few minutes ride by taxicab or by PUJ (public utility jeep) to get there.
Punta Cruz Punta Cruz Watchtower is an ancient structure made of stone. Built along a rocky shoreline of Punta, Maribojoc in the 17th century, the tower, originally called the Moro Watchtower, was used as a lookout for the marauders and pirates. The Spaniards planted the wooden cross at the front of the tower in 1767. Mindanao Sea and the islands of Siquijor and Cebu can be viewed from the windows of the tower. The site is now a favorite destination of foreign and local tourists alike. A resort nearby accommodates visitors at reasonable rates. Maribojoc is about 14 kilometers from Tagbilaran City. A bus from the Tagbilaran Integrated Terminal or a taxicab from the city would take 30 to 45 minutes to get there.
Loon Church In 1753, a chapel was constructed under the term of the first friar Manuel Elizalde. It was only after 50 years that it was replaced with what is now the largest church in Bohol and has 3 naves. Designed in Ionic and Corinthian architectural style, its columns, pilasters and the bell tower on each side of the structure are symmetrical to the last detail which makes Loon Church one of the most beautiful churches. Only 25 kms. from Tagbilaran City, a bus ride from Tagbilaran Integrated Terminal or a taxicab from the city would take about 30-45 minutes.
