The manmade forest is a 2-kilometer stretch of mahogany trees that carpet the sloping ground where the municipality of Loboc satisfies Bilar. Travelers going to the chocolate Hills from Loboc will not miss this.
We traipsed along the road under the canopy of a rich mahogany forest whose branches rounded overhead. I might not assist however look up; their leaves have blocked out the sun completely. uniform as well as imposing, their thin trunks stand so close to every other like a platoon of huge soldiers. At the time, no wind was there to tousle their verdant tops yet they appeared to be moving, stepping back, providing method to visitors passing by.
In their shade, I gadded in awe, hypnotized by the virid ceiling above me as well as totally forgetting that the road I was walking on was a highway. A loud honk jerked my consciousness back just in time as a cars and truck sped best past me. Here in this forest, it’s difficult not to daydream for the location itself appears like it came directly from a fantasy movie.
