Users of a leading travel website has rated Bohol as one of ten "best spots you've never heard of" in a poll.

In an article by Reuters Life, the members of the travel website IgoUgo (http://www.igougo.com) voted Bohol, Philippines as one of ten previously-unknown tourist spots that are ideal vacation places.

The article cited the Visayan province as "one of the Philippines' secrets." The place was described as having "numerous natural treasures that lure visitors to its shores."

"Although people usually go to its highly urbanized neighboring island Cebu, Bohol holds a charm of its own makes it distinct from other Visayan islands," the article added.

Bohol was listed eighth in the poll.

The ten spots which made it to the list are:

1. Amarante, Portugal - a magnificent little city

"During my first time in Amarante, I found it such a nice town to visit, a pleasant 'discovery,' the only thing I could complain about was the weather... The lovely city is bathed by River Tamega and Amarante's beautiful architecture by its margins and green streets reflect on its water."

2. Sigulda, Latvia - a beautiful little town

"As the Gauja National Park gateway town closest to Riga, only 50 km southwest, Sigulda attracts its fair share of tourists, and deservedly so because it is one of the nicest small towns in Latvia. It is located on the banks of the Gauja river that winds through the forested hills."

3. Avebury, England - a Stonehenge alternative

"Avebury may be a lesser-known henge sibling to the massive stones of Stonehenge in the south, but it is certainly no less impressive. "Although Stonehenge's stones are so much bigger, the scale of the circle here at Avebury leaves the former well and truly in the shade."

4. Sorata, Bolivia - a mythical Shangri-La

"Bolivians mention Sorata (a small village of 2,000 people) as one of the most beautiful places in their country. They compare it to a mythical Shangri-La, placed in a narrow, faraway - almost lost - valley in the mountains. "

5. Camargue, France - for a Spanish/Gypsy flavor

"It's an unusual corner of France with many Spanish and Gypsy influences, worth a day or two for those who enjoy outdoor activities or a touch of the exotic ... The Camargue is a national and regional nature park of marshes and wetlands encompassing the Rhone River delta, just south of Arles."

6. Victoria, Argentina - the "City of the Seven Hills"

"Victoria is known as the "City of the Seven Hills" and the whole landscape is beautiful. The Parana Delta starts here, and goes all the way down to Buenos Aires."

7. Budva, Montenegro - on a dramatic coastline

"Budva is a 2,500-year-old seaside settlement about halfway along the dramatic Montenegrin coastline. The immaculately cared-for old town juts out into the Adriatic Sea on a small peninsula and is surrounded by tall stone walls."

8. Bohol, Philippines - one of Philippines' secrets

"Bohol has numerous natural treasures that lure visitors to its shores. Although people usually go to its highly urbanized neighboring island Cebu, Bohol holds a charm of its own makes it distinct from other Visayan islands."

9.Cuyutlan, Mexico - black sand, green waves, sea turtles

"The beach is the reason to come to Cuyutlan. It is long and wide with black sand and rolling waves ... the seafood is fresh, abundant, and inexpensive."

10. Perthshire, Scotland - in the heart of highlands

"Blair Castle, the ancient seat of the dukes and earls of Atholl, has been awarded five stars as a visitor attraction by the Scottish tourist agency, its highest award. The castle enjoys one of Scotland's finest settings."

IgoUgo.com touts itself as "the world's leading online travel community" with 350,000 members who share opinions and experiences on destinations around the globe.

The users of the website voted for the list based on their experiences, and reader comments accompanied each place.

depende na sa orientation oi...sa akong part, kabalo sila di lalim so di sila mag expect too much. kung unsa ra akong ika duhol mao ra pud. that's one thing nga grateful ko sa akong family and relatives kay no expectations, kung naa ikahatag, greatly appreciated pa gyud na.

ok man ang ahong family Ms. Ginger kay gipasabot man sila naho sa unaha pa nga dili lalim ang kinabuhi dire, nabuhi mi sa credit card.  ang ahong problema kadtong mga silingan ug mga kaamigohan nga gaexpect jud nga hatagan.  kadtong pagpauli nako last yr, wa man ko kapanghatag sa tanan kay saun pordoy lagi tawn unya daginoton pod ang allowance kay wa ka andam, dali dali tong pagkaulia, ang istorya kay ambot na lang, makasurok jud.  mahatagan or madili naa jud istorya.  ako na lang gipalahos sa akong pikas dunggan kay, "we can't pleased everybody" man.   

sakto ka, willsmith. kami kay dili pud tantong daghan kaayo ug silingan maong ok ra. maka bahin ra pud ginagmay. in ana gyud na sa ato, di malikayan abi kay abroad, nag tuo nga ga dala ka usa ka sako nga kuarta.

Wow, go Bohol go

mao jud gatoo jud sila nga gipamunit ra ang kuarta sa abroad.  wa nila hunahunaa nga muna muna intawn, halos maboktok na ta ug tinarbaho, hehehehhe.  na hala it's better to give than to receive man, bahala'g ginagmay ra gud basta naa.  problema na na sa moangal.

This is quite an inspiring news for each and every Boholano worldwide. I do hope that every Boholano will also have sense enough to uphold this pride... and give much concern to the preservation of all the natural resources that Bohol beholds...

Wow, matsalams sa mga fifol nga nag include sa bohol sa top 10. ikacomment lang nako sa mga businesses didto, labi na mga resorts. Tawon pud uy, jaw pud mo palabi pamahal. kumo man lang nga sikat na ang bohol, sakyan sad ninjo. Unja pud ang mga fish vendors ug mga pasalubong sellers, jaw lang pud mo tawon pamahal. Ahong nahagap ang kilo kuno sa tulingan 150-180 pesos na! fastilan faetah.... Dayon naa pud kuno sa Panglao nga resort nga as in supermahal. abot jud dunggan ang abli sa ahong baba pagkahibawo nga $100+ ang pinakabarato na room. Tanuod ni mga fwends kay ahong bro in law nga puti nakabakasyon last month, nisuroy didtong dapita. Bisan sija gani nikadu pud ang mata (nisamot... hehehe) pagkahibawo sa price. Pero naa pud kuno didto sa Panglao nga nice Italian resto nga reasonable n acceptable ang price. Native kuno ang dating sa place pero nagserve ug mga Italian foods. Mao kuno na ang haven sa mga puti didto. Check it out kuno fwends....

unsa man pod name ana nga resort kuno?

welcome diay leeona
