Baler

Aside from being known as the best surfing spot in the Philippines, Baler still has things to offer for an exciting barkada getaway. Hidden in Baler is the Ditumabo Falls or called Mother Falls which surprisingly has easier trails.

Along with its beauty is the cold water that makes every visitor fall in love with it. Also, Diguisit Rock Formations and Dicasalarin Cove are must-visit places which prove that Baler hides lots of wonderful views.

Second, the 4×4 ride is a great way in bringing out the beast in you as it trails the high slope sands. Third, ATV rides are there to support hyper friends who want to feel the excitement while driving on a dessert.
