Balete Tree

Siquijor


Just west of the village of Campalanas is a tremendous balete tree (banyan tree), estimated to be 400 years old and believed by some to be enchanted. In front of the tree is a spring-fed pool filled with flesh-nibbling fish – dangle your feet in for a free 'fish spa'.

A nearby souvenir shop sells coconut water, coffee and bottled 'love potion' made from a mix of herbs.
