Puerto Galera
Puerto Galera is a small town in the north of Mindoro island and is the main gateway to the island for visitors from Manila, just a five hours bus ride away.
Puerto Galera (Spanish for "galleon harbor") takes its name from the Spanish galleons that once sheltered in the town's small harbor.
Most visitors simply pass through Puerto Galera on the way to Sabang, White Beach or one of the other secluded beaches to be found nearby. Other visitors are eager to get to the excellent diving and hiking spots on and near the northern coast of Mindoro.
