Talofofo Falls, Two-tier waterfall system at Talofofo, Guam
Talofofo Falls is a two-level waterfall system fed by the Ugum River, with limestone rock formations creating natural pools and cascades. The water flows over and between the stones, forming the multiple drop sections that define the site.
The site has been part of local geography for generations, shaped by indigenous Chamorro presence long before modern development. The area gained international attention due to World War II events that unfolded in a nearby cave following the war's end.
The waterfalls hold meaning in Chamorro oral traditions as a place where stories about the land have been passed down through families. Locals view the site as part of their natural heritage and connection to the island's identity.
Plan your visit during daylight hours when the water and surrounding paths are well lit and easy to navigate. The resort grounds provide clear access to the main viewing areas and facilities for visitors.
A cable car system carries visitors directly over the falls, offering overhead perspectives of both waterfall levels that ground-level viewing cannot match. This aerial vantage point reveals details of the water flow and rock formations not visible from below.
