Planning your trip
Because the island is split into two provinces, it is worth deciding early which side you want to explore, since each has its own character and places to stay. Mindoro suits travelers who want a slower pace, with beaches and the sea as the main focus, and who are interested in learning about the people who have lived on the island for generations.
