About four hours away from Manila, Puerto Galera is must-visit beach
paradise, especially if you don’t have the luxury of time on your hands. Located
in the island of Mindoro, it boasts of beautiful beaches, lush mountains,
affordable accommodation facilities, hospitable locals, and so much more! There
are so many things that you can do while there and the long list includes
island-hopping, star gazing, rock climbing, and so on. Putting all these into
consideration and with the prevalence of countless Philippine travel
packages out there, it can be said that Puerto
Galera is the place to be if you yearn for a summer vacation that is one for
the books and light on the pocket. But before anything else, it is best to
become acquainted of some of the finest attractions that you can enjoy if your
trip to the said beach paradise pushes through. Read on because this is what
this write up is all about.
Talipanan Falls
The Talipanan Falls is one of the most
famous falls and awe-inspiring attractions in Puerto Galera. It is safe to say
that it’s just what the doctor ordered if you’re an adrenaline junkie who wants
to engage in an exceptional trekking experience and enjoy breathtaking scenery.
To get there, it is best if you are going to hire a local guide that usually
charges around PHP 200.00. Also, make sure to leave early in the morning if you
want to take pictures of Mindoro monkeys.
Puerto Galera Mangrove Conservation and Eco-Tourism Park
The Puerto Galera Mangrove Conservation
and Eco-Tourism Park is a 22-hectare property that is composed of mangrove
trees, reefs, sea grass, and so on. While there, you can enjoy a captivating
view of a mangrove forest that boasts of a somewhat mystical environment. It is
a bit hard to reach, but you can be rest assured that your efforts won’t go to
waste, especially after finding out for yourself that the awareness for
mangroves is gaining momentum and further losses are slowly (and surely) being
prevented.
Underwater Cave
The Underwater Cave in San Antonio is a majestic place that can take
your breath away. Located in a small pocket beach, there is a ladder that you
can use to enter the mentioned opening. If the tide is low, you can easily exit
on the other side, but if it is the other way around, you have to dive to reach
the other side. If you’re a good swimmer, you can try reaching the bottom. In
the process, be prepared to be mesmerized by its natural beauty that is
highlighted by a myriad of limestone walls, different corals, and others.
Bulalacao Municipality
If you want to experience an
unadulterated beach that is not overshadowed by mainstream tourism, then the
Municipality of Bulalacao is the place to be. It is perfect if you want to
indulge in beach activities without sharing it to a large number of people. In
some ways, it is like the Tambobong Beach in
Pangasinan, but with a twist. What makes the municipality special is the
presence of 13 untouched islets that resembles a shooting star if you look at
them through a, say, bird’s eye view.
Sinandingan Lighthouse
Being a coastal town, Puerto Galera has
its own lighthouse. Located in Sinandingan, the said structure delivers an
exhilarating view of Isla Verde (Green Island). On top of this, it is also
known for its diving spots that boasts of vibrant underwater plants that inhabit
the nearby beaches.
Coral Garden
The Coral Garden, which is located
between Boquete and San Antonio, is an attraction that you shouldn’t miss.
Though only eight feet deep, it is home to a myriad of marine animals such as
starfish, clown fish, sea urchin, sea
snake, and so much more. To add, it is also the habitat of rare corals. If you
choose to go snorkeling, make sure to hold on the outrigger of your boat. You
can bring pieces of bread so you can feed the fish.
Infinity Farm
The Infinity Farm is slowly turning into
one of Puerto Galera’s most sought after vacation spots. Located within close
proximity to Calapan City, it is ideal if you want to indulge in clean air,
mountain-fresh water, and so much more.
Summing up
There you have it, some of the attractions that you ought to include
in your itinerary if your Puerto Galera getaway pushes through. By doing so,
you can be rest assured that your trip is one for the books and it is fun as
well as exciting as advertised. Remember, the beach paradise is well worth your
time, money, and effort, especially if you don’t have the luxury of time on
your hands and at the same time want to enjoy a summer escapade that is worth
remembering.
