of course, you go to Baler to surf. but there are days when the waves aren’t that good, or it’s close to being flat. fortunately it’s good to know that Baler is more than just about the surf. the place is full amazing sites to behold.
thick forests surround Aurora
30 -45 min ride fromthe main town
prepare for a trek. as the sign says, it’s 1.3km.
and once you get there, you forget everything else
something is magical and healing in these cold waters
it’s weird, but you’ll feel the urge to pose like this when you stand in front of a grand waterfall
The next time you go to Baler, be sure to visit the Mother Falls. You will never forget it.
