Tamaraw Falls

Tamaraw Falls is a roadside cascade waterfall located in Barangay Villaflor, Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines, along the main Puerto Galera-Calapan Road. Standing about 20 meters high with multiple cascades flowing into a shallow natural pool, it is one of the most accessible waterfalls in the area. Named after the tamaraw, Mindoro's endemic dwarf buffalo, the falls is surrounded by lush forest and is a popular stopover for travelers between Puerto Galera and Calapan.

Visitors can expect a roadside waterfall directly beside the Puerto Galera-Calapan Road with a series of cascades dropping about 20 meters into a shallow natural pool at the base. The setting is surrounded by forest and rock formations with a small viewing area, cottages and stalls nearby. Visitors can view the falls from the roadside platform, wade or swim in the pool at the base, take photographs, and browse souvenir and food stalls. The site is compact and easily explored on foot.
