Talofofo Falls

Southern Guam waterfall park where tropical pools share the valley with Shoichi Yokoi's wartime cave.

Talofofo Falls is a set of waterfalls in the Ugum River valley in southern Guam, now part of a resort park. The main attraction is the two-tiered lower falls, which drop into a pool surrounded by dense tropical vegetation. A cable car takes visitors down into the valley.

The park also preserves the cave where Shoichi Yokoi, a Japanese soldier, hid in the jungle for 28 years after World War II, not knowing (or not believing) that the war had ended. He was discovered by local hunters in 1972. A replica of his underground shelter is on display near the falls.
