Short weekend getaway to Baler
Last time I went to Baler was in 2015, we went to the usual tourists spots; had the chance to experience surfing and went to a popular Balete Tree:
Second time around, we were able to go to much secluded places with the guide from the locals, a privatized river that had a bunch of cabanas for rent, but since it's not really a popular spot we were lucky enough to have the place all to ourselves:
Also went to Ditumabo Falls or known as the Mother Falls, since it was the largest which is a pretty popular destination in Baler but we didn't have the chance to visit it the last time. Before reaching the falls you'll have to go through a 30 minute hike, you'll encounter a few streams that we actually swam in since there were no one there.
It's hard to take photos once you reach the falls, wind was pretty strong and scattered showers. There were a lot of people during the time of our visit, but we did had the chance to get into the water which was freezing cold. Still, it was a fun experience.​
