A Visitor’s Guide to the Philippine Tarsier Sanctuary

The Philippine Tarsier Sanctuary is a 167 hectare space that covers the municipalities of Corella, Sikatuna, and Loboc. The entrance point of the sanctuary is at Corella Bohol. This place has been established to conserve and promote the tarsier species of Bohol.

The three aforementioned towns were chosen because they had the most sightings of tarsiers. When these creatures weren’t yet protected by the law, this was where they were hunted and captured to be sold. Now that it’s declared as a sanctuary, the tarsiers are freely living their lives and reproducing.

This sanctuary contains an extensive amount of flora and fauna thriving on the secondary growth forest. There are signs with the species scientific name, place of origin, their properties, and how they can be used for applications.

When you visit, there is a visitor’s center that has a reception, a souvenir counter, an exhibition area, an AVR, a cafeteria, and a lounge deck equipped with a big parking lot. If you are planning to bask into nature and see the wonder of these little primates, you should visit the Philippine Tarsier Sanctuary at Bohol.
