Tuburan is a 2nd municipal income class municipality that was founded way back in 1851 by Don Mariano Motebon. Tuburan currently consists of 54 barangays.

The municipality produces industrial and domestic products such as decorative apparel and fashion accessories made of seashells, woods and other indigenous products.

Marmol Cliff (Marble Cliff) is made up of two big rock formations that line the passageway of a river. It is shallow during sunny days, but when it rain, the water rises up to 20 feet, so you must be careful when treading here.

It’s called marmol (“marble”) as the stones are shiny and smooth, much like marble stones. You can see it sparkle when the rays of the sun hit the stone.
