Talipanan Falls

13° 29.4′ N · 120° 53.3′ E

A short forest trek inland from Talipanan Beach to a small waterfall, often combined with the Iraya Mangyan village.

Practical

Position: OSM. PGYC calls it a longer trek with ancient history and wildlife; a 2012 blog says it is easier to reach but much smaller than Aninuan Falls (about an hour's moderate hike, guide about PHP 100 - verify locally). Birdwatching: hornbills, kingfishers and the endemic Mindoro imperial pigeon and Mindoro bleeding-heart dove (PGYC).

Best for

Short hike from the western beaches
