Baler, home of the making of Apocalypse Now and remote Philippine surfing outpost.Only accessible by a slow bus journey through the dramatic Sierra Madre Mountains
and located on the Pacific ocean which stretches endlessly towards Mexico.
It is the capital of the region but still only a small town surrounded by lush jungle,
coconut groves, mangroves and series of serpentine waterways. For a longtime access was difficult
due to high activity of the communist New Peoples Army rebel group.
Today there is a thriving surf community and many undiscovered waves in a remote paradise.
