Located in northeastern Bohol, this features a famous rolling green ridgeline. The hike is short (about 1.5 to 2 hours) but steep, rewarding you with sweeping meadow views.
The Alicia Panoramic Park (TAPP) Souvenirs
Widely considered Bohol's highest elevation points in Jagna (known as the "Little Baguio of Bohol" for its cooler climate). Expect a steep, raw forest climb requiring tree branches for handholds.
