Puerto Galera Hotel Philippines Travel Network

Puerto Galera is a Y-shaped peninsula located on the northern shores of Mindoro Island. It is part of the Southern Tagalog region.

The town is known for its exceptionally beautiful little white sand beaches, some fringed with reefs teeming with rich and diverse marine life, and excellent dive spots. It is also known to have one of the most beautiful harbors in the world, and it has served as a haven for ships during typhoons for many centuries. Apart from this, it has served as a gateway for galleons on the way to and from Spain, Mexico, China, Java, and Sumatra. In 1974, Puerto Galera was declared a nature center and a marine sanctuary by the United Nations Man and Biosphere Program International.

Mindoro, formerly called Mait, was known to Chinese traders even before the coming of the Spanish. In 15 70, the Spanish began to explore the island and named it "Mina de Oro" (mine of gold) after finding some of the precious metal, though no major gold discoveries were ever made. Missionaries became active around Ilin Island off the southern tip, Lubang Island off the northern tip, and Mamburao. Moro raids later forced them to abandon these places. In 1754, the Muslims established strongholds in Mamburao and Balete (near Sablayan). From there, they launched raids against nearby settlements. An expedition sent by Governor Simon de Anda put an end to these raids.
