No Beach-ing in Puerto Galera ;)

Waterfalls Day! (Day 2 on Puerto Galera)

On our first day in Galera, a local offered to bring us to Tamaraw Falls and Tukuran Falls for 1,500.00. We contemplated on the offer... we thought it won't be practical to spend almost 400/each for an uncomfortable tricycle ride to the falls. So we've decided to just use the public method of transportation and commute.. 

First ride to take is the tricycle ride from White Beach to the town proper. It was 10:50AM when we left White Beach. We haggle with the drivers and one agreed to bring us to PG town for 150.00. While on the road to town proper, the tricycle driver (forgot to get his name) offered to bring us to the two falls for 1,000.00. Plus, he'll bring us to Mangyan Village too! We thought it's a good deal so we said yes to his offer.

By 11:30, we were at the town proper of Puerto Galera. We had our breakfast at one of the local carinderia's. The place offers delicious food at reasonable and affordable prices.

This isn't on their menu but when our foreign friend requested for it, they run to the market and bought several eggplant.

We then headed off to Tamaraw Falls. We just made a quick stop to get some photos. 

After a few minutes of taking pictures in Tamaraw Falls, we went straight to Tukuran Falls.

Instead of taking the buffalo ride, we opted to trek and cross four rivers to get to the falls.

We passed by Lapantay Falls... we didn't make a stop though...

A deep pool will welcome you once you reach the Tukuran Falls

Further up...

After an hour of taking a dip on the pool, we then decided to start trekking back. We still have The Mangyan Village to visit.

On our way back, these kids took a cacao out of the tree for us...

An akin of leech bit me  :(

Early dinner then followed... A stroll on the sea shore before we end the day...
