       | I have been to the location where this cashew tree is. If you are
       | just passing by on the street you can barely notice it is "the
       | cashew tree", for it is so huge it takes up what could be an
       | entire lot. From walking around it, you could think it is several
       | individual trees, because it's branches bend downward, touch the
       | soil, grow new smaller roots there, and then go up again.
       | 
       | Also, I was there around 10 years ago, so it may have changed,
       | but back then tourists didn't really go "under/inside" the tree,
       | they were mostly outside the lot, maybe to preserve the tree and
       | avoid possible damage/diseases.
