400 Year Old Enchanted Balete Tree on Siquijor Island

The Enchanted Balete Tree in Siquijor!

Balete trees are believed to be magical, and home to spirits and mysterious creatures. Locals will come and leave money in the tree for good luck, and some will admit their sins and ask for forgiveness.

What makes this one unique is the natural spring that comes from underneath the tree.

It flows into a Man-Made pool filled with doctor fish, they call it a fish spa and if you stick your feet in there, the fish will come and eat the dead skin!

There are some big ones in there and they look intimidating, but it just tickles and doesn't hurt.
