Overview

It is classified by the BPTO under Nature / Unique Natural Landscape. The name refers to the distinctive red-coloured soil characteristic of the site — a geological feature that sets it apart from the surrounding terrain.

Location

Barangay Sohoton, Calape, Bohol. Calape is a municipality on the northwestern coast of Bohol, near Tubigon. The Sohoton barangay is in the interior of the municipality.

Getting There

Practical Info

[FACT NEEDED: entrance fee, operating hours, whether a guide is required, contact with barangay or LGU tourism office, current trail condition]

What to Expect

A natural landscape site distinguished by red soil terrain — a feature unusual enough within Bohol to merit its own BPTO classification as a Unique Natural Landscape. The site is a relatively recent addition to Calape’s tourism offering: it was reported by local residents as a newly discovered attraction around 2020, promoted locally alongside the town’s St. Vincent Ferrer Church and the white-sand beach of Pangangan Island during Bohol’s pandemic-era push to surface new local destinations.
