Ship House and Man-made Mahogany Forest

We decided not to go back to the resort right after the tour because we want to drop by the city. We had a few short stops.

6. Ship House


This is a house owned by a captain of a ship. Because of his passion, he designed his house to be shaped like a ship! This has been a tourist stop ever since it was featured by Korina Sanchez in Rated K.


7. Man-made Mahogany Forest


The Bohol Forest is a man-made mahogany forest stretching in a two-kilometer stretch of densely planted Mahogany trees located in the border of Loboc and Bilar towns. Before and after this man-made forest are the naturally grown forests of Loboc and Bilar which are thick with a kaleidoscope of green foliage, different species of trees and giant ferns lining the road.

The man-made forest stands out because of the uniformity in height of the big trees, the spread of its branches, thickness and design of leaves. Seedlings abound around the older trees. Trunks, some thick and others just a few months old, grow resplendently straight up towards the sky which is obscured by the branches and the thick leaves.
