Bilar Man-Made Forest
A tunnel of tall mahogany trees lining both sides of the road, stretching about 2 km. It's a must-stop for photos on the land tour.
The man-made forest sits on the border between the towns of Loboc and Bilar. Starting in the 1960s, mahogany was planted on a large scale to control soil erosion in the hills. Today the trees are tall, and their branches meet above the road to form a green tunnel with cool, damp shade beneath. Entry is free. You can stop briefly by the road to take photos, but watch for traffic. It is on the route from Tagbilaran to the Chocolate Hills and is well paired with the Tarsier Sanctuary and the Chocolate Hills.
