The "Arbol del Tule", a Montezuma cypress, is claimed to be the tree with the largest diameter in the world. At 11.62 meters its diameter is greater than that of the largest Sequoia tree. The Tule tree is located in Oaxaca, Mexico and is claimed to locals to be the largest tree in the world (by volume and tonnage) although this claim is not scientificaly proven. None the less it is a very impressive tree!

This does not look like the kind of place where you would want to go for a dip. Looks actually like the kind of place where you might find all sorts of slithering, snaping, creeping, biting and otherwise not very friendly criters.
