Puerto Galera Travel Guide
The Philippines is a country gifted with great beaches. The
better known beaches are those found in Boracay and Palawan.
Another beach or resorts worth mentioning are those found on the
Mindoro's northern part in the province of Oriental Mindoro. The
place is called Puerto Galera. It is locate south of Manila (130
kilometers south) and 14 nautical miles from Batangas City.
You can go to Puerto Galera from Manila to Batangas using only
land routes. When you arrive on Batangas, you would then need to
ride a ferry to transport you. The ferry trip will be 1 to 2
hours long.
You have two options to go to Puerto Galera, the cheaper way or
the more expensive way. The more expensive way is generally a
faster way to get there. The more expensive one will make you
ride the MV Super 85 Ferry and Sikat and Bus Services. Riding
them is more expensive because they have no stop-overs, board
the passengers directly to the ferries and are coasters or vans
that are provided by the company.
The cheaper transportation is the way of the commuter buses of
BLTB, JAM and TRITRAN which can be located at EDSA-Pasay, Taft
Avenue near the corner of Gil Puyat Avenue, and Buendia,
respectively. The bus fares will only range from P80
(non-air-conditioned) or P100 (air-conditioned). You will then
ride a ferry to go to Puerto Galera and later on
would need to
hire an outrigger boat that ranges from P2, 000 per banca.
When you arrive at Puerto Galera, there are limitless activities
to be done and places to go. You can go to the Hidden Valley,
the Mangyan Village, the Muelle Bay and the Tammaraw waterfalls.
The activities that can be done in Puerto Galera are kayaking
and golfing to name a few.
For people who are fascinated by the marine life Puerto Galera
also offers a variety of dive sites. The following dive sites in
Puerto Galera are the Coral Garden, The Pink Wall, the Hill, the
Hole in the Wall, the Manila Channel, La Laguna Point, the
Sabang point and wreck, the dungeon wall, the monkey beach,
Ernie's cave, and many others.
A person who goes to Puerto Galera can also find some nice
souvenirs to bring home to. They can be able to get the
handicrafts that are made by the Mangyan to bring home to their
friends.
There are other interesting places to go to in the Philippines.
Don't simply restrict yourself to the more popular ones. The
less popular places can also provide you with a memorable
experience.
