Old Enchanted Balete Siquijor Island

Lazi's 400 year old balete tree is huge! And it's branches set it's foliage to a wide canopy that covers the pool in it's bottom. This giant tree growing over the springs provide a cool, and calm atmosphere for the visitors below it.

There is a pool area that one can take a dip in. The water is surprisingly clean with fish swimming in it. With rounds that you'll be doing around the island, a stop here is an instant refreshing break from touring around Siquijor Island. You can dip your tired feet and you'll get is an instant foot spa if you like.
