welcome to Puerto Galera!

We went to puerto galera last sunday, that was april 22. After five years, I reached that beautiful place again... same scenery. Nothing changed. It’s still a paradise.

Even if we are living here in mindoro, we rarely find time to go there, primarily because it's far. It would take about two and a half hours of travel from our house. It’s far really and you need to trudge a rough and winding road before you reach the place. It’s like you're traveling to Baguio. But once you reached the place, wow!!! That’s the only word you can say.

The blue color of water in the beach, the white sand, the mountainous place… what a creation! There are lots of tourists there, which are mostly Americans and Manileňos. There are many people there who are truly “negosiantes.” Tiangge everywhere! Shirts, blouses, and shorts printed with Puerto Galera, all sort, name it, and it’s available…Hena tattoo for P100. Hair braid for P200. Cottage, P1500. Every products and services cost double of the true price. Well, it’s a tourist spot, and that explains it all.

But, having been to puerto would make you feel proud that once in your life, you saw a beautiful creation of God. You will also experience a soothing feeling that you wouldn’t feel when you are just staying at your home. Nothing beats the feeling of being in one place while relaxing, seeing and appreciating nature.
