Tamaraw
Falls Puerto
Galera
The Tamaraw Falls are easy to get to. From Puerto
Galera take the road that goes through San Teodoro and onto Calapan,
jeepneys ply the road regularly, as they do throughout the Philippines.
You will find the Tamaraw Falls before San Teodoro.
The
distance is only about 15 kilometers from Puerto Galera and you would
have to be blind to miss it as the Tamaraw Falls Puerto Galera is literally
a couple of meters off the road.
There
are a series of small waterfalls that end in the final drop into the
cool water of the pool at the bottom of the Tamaraw Falls. The water
at first is quite cool, but extremely refreshing once you get over the
initial sudden shock, it is not that the water is so cold, but rather
the air temperature is so high that makes such a contrasting difference.
There
is a picnic area and a larger rock pool for swimming, a small fee is
charged to enter the picnic area. The larger rock pool is man made and
does look like it has seen better days, it is a little bit tired.
It
is a nice alternative to the energy of Sabang Beach and the beaches
around Big La Laguna Beach. go and have a look and decide for yourself.
