While in Baler I am going on lots of little tours to see just how beautiful this area is. Last weekend I went on my first tour to the Mother Falls and the Balete tree– the biggest tree in Asia! None of my housemates went with me, but some of their friends did, and of course now they are my friends :) First up was Mother Falls, a beautiful waterfall in a very secluded area. We had to drive up the mountain a little bit on this really narrow dirt road. When the road got to narrow for us to drive we parked the truck and trekked the remaining thirty minutes to the waterfall. The whole time it was misting– I really felt like I was in a rain forest because the dense forest and wet environment. The falls were absolutely breathtaking, the water was so clear, clean, and blue. Of course, we all went swimming– very cold but quite refreshing.

After slowly making our way back down the slippery slope we went to the tree. I cannot believe how big it is!
Just how big is it? This big:
Let me put it into perspective for you. Here I am:
It is big enough to climb around inside. Hey, who needs a tree house when the tree itself is a house.
