Pili Nut Hills in Camalig, Albay

      If Bohol has its Chocolate Hills, Albay has its own version, Pili Nut Hills, located in Camalig, Albay, home of the Hoyop-hoyopan Cave.  

        It is called ‘Pili Nut Hills’ in honor of one of Bicol’s best known products. 

            For now there are no tourist facilities in the area and these hills remains one of Albay's best kept secrets.
