        """Find the point in the tree that minimizes the distance to the query.

        Args:
            query (:obj:`tuple` of float or int): Stores the position of the
                node.
            dist_fun (:obj:`function`, optional): The distance function,
                euclidean distance by default.

        Returns:
            :obj:`tuple`: Tuple of length 2, where the first element is the
                identifier of the nearest node, the second is the distance
                to the query.

        Example:
            >>> tree = Tree(2, 3)
            >>> tree.insert((0, 0))
            >>> tree.insert((3, 5))

            >>> dist
