Puerto Galera

Puerto Galera has one of the most beautiful natural harbours in the world. Puerto Galera was the place of refuge for the Spanish Galleons in times of storm or for a recreational stop-over for the crews after months at sea when this was a gateway for the galleons on the way to and from Spain, Mexico, China, India, Sumatra and Java.Mindoro, the island on which Puerto Galera is located at the North East Coast, was named from a contraction of "mina del oro" or "mines of gold" after the Spanish founded the local community with the consecration of the Church in 1572. Mountains covered with tropical rainforest, waterfalls and beautiful secluded sandy beaches make Puerto Galera an ideal holiday destination for the whole family.Rediscover the unspoiled beauty of nature.
