Puerto Galera, Mindoro One of the most visited tourist destination in the Philippines, is the Puerto Galera in Mindoro. With its coves sandwiched by the gentle swaying palm trees and crystal-clear turquoise water, a visit to Puerto Galera is a sort of a dream vacation or trip come true in escaping the noisy and traffic inflicted city life. Once a very rustic and dull rural town, its discovery by the late 1970’s paved the way to many tourists, domestic and foreigners to get mesmerized with its natural charm and beauty.
Diving and snorkeling enthusiasts will indeed enjoy discovering the different corals and colorful and very diverse marine life of La Laguna Beach. Nightlife here is very active here too, and can compete with that of Boracay's and promises to be enjoying. You may also try kayaking, canoeing or banana boating to have the pleasure of a sight seeing and patrolling the area while getting awed with the splendid surroundings around. You may also want to have a trek to the lush vegetation of the coves and see some lovely, and colorful birds around. Fun never stops in Puerto Galera and you are warmly invited here to quench your thirst of having a wholesome and awesome summer escapade.
