Tamaraw Falls @ Puerto Galera

Before an onslaught of beaches in my up-coming posts, let me first share you Tamaraw Falls in this Puerto Galera Series.

Tamaraw Falls is a series of waterfalls. There are at least two Falls at the top, falling into another couple of falls and eventually flowing into the cool water at the bottom. It is not a hard track but be wary because the stones are quite slippery. The water is cool and refreshing that one would be tempted to dip on a man-made natural pool just opposite the Falls.

Here are some photos I have taken of the most popular Falls in Mindoro:

Strong Force Thru Thick Foliage


Never-ending Stream amidst Slippery Rocks


Flowing Thru Stones


Cool Waters


Nature at its Best


How to go there?

From Puerto Galera take the road that goes through San Teodoro and onto Calapan, jeepneys ply the road regularly. You will find the Tamaraw Falls before San Teodoro.

The distance is only about 15 kilometers from Puerto Galera and the falls is literally just a couple of meters off the road.

More photos and stories about Puerto Galera in my next posts.

  10. It's nice that you have a "How to go there?" thingie at the end of each post. This will be a big help for people like me who plan on going to the places you write about in your blog. But first thing's first: I need to save up for the mean time. =P

  15. Napapuerto galera ka? Kala ko dagat, may falls rin pala. Masarap maligo dyan kasi hindi diretso ang daloy ng tubig, so hindi siya malalim.
