Located in Barangay Villaflor, a couple of meters off the road, and about 15 kilometers outside Puerto Galera, Tamaraw Falls is a 423 foot natural wonder. Its name is derived from a species of buffalo which can only be found in Oriental Mindoro. For those who have had enough of the beaches in Puerto Galera, this breathtaking sight is a wonderful place to cool off. This idyllic spot is a great place for families and is the perfect destination for a fun day out. It consists of a series of smaller waterfalls that is captured by a man made pool at the bottom.
