Quitinday Hills


About an hour from Legazpi City, Albay’s provincial capital, lies the town of Camalig. Here, you’ll find Quitinday Hills, a 400-hectare sweep of verdant terrain that’s reminiscent of Bohol’s famed Chocolate Hills. 

Quitinday Hills was said to be the Albay's verion of Bohol's pride which is the Chocolate Hills. However, unlike Chocolate Hills,the hills of Quitinday are different kind-less rounded. These amazing geological formations adds up to Albay’s stunning landscape that has been dominated by the famous Mayon Volcano that will welcome you as you climb at the top of the hill. And as you look down, you will see the green rice fields and breath fresh air. This hill has its own beauty that can attract and amaze every person that will witness its uniqueness. This place is really relaxing and stress free.  It is more fun to visit Albay's hidden gems! Come, feel and see the  green paradise.

Don't waste all your time. Live your life to the fullest. Explore!


HOW TO GET THERE:
If you are coming from the town of Daraga, ride a jeepney with a Polangui signage and tell the driver to drop you off at the intersection going to Quitinday Green Hills in Camalig.
Now, once at the intersection going to Quitinday, either ride a tricycle going to the green hills or if there are habal-habal (motorcycle), then you may go for that option. Travel period would be around 30-45min. The road isn’t all paved so expect that the ride would be bumpy.
You will know that you have reached the area when you see a tarpaulin that says “Welcome to Quitinday Hills”. You will be asked to log at their log book and a brief orientation will follow. Entrance fee is Php20/person. Guide assistance is to your discretion.
