flora and fauna. It is here that El Nido and Taytay, home of the lovely El Nido Resorts, are located. Spectacular
ancient limestone cliffs tower over marine sanctuaries teeming with innumerable species of tropical fish and
coral, as well as five species of endangered sea turtles. Lush forests abound with more than 100 species of
birds. It is a truly exotic destination.

Geologists think that the specific shape of the hills is
caused by the influences of the weather during millions of
years. The breaking down of the upper layers of the
limestone formations, followed by the erosion processes,
resulted in these remnants in the shape of cones. In the
rainy season the Chocolate Hills are green. In the dryseason of each year, the vegetation on the hills gives the
landscape a brown colored view, a reason to call them
"Chocolate Hills".
