Clear waters, gentle sea breeze, white sands, unexploited caves unspoiled underwater flora and fauna describe Puerto del Mar, the place CNCHS faculty and staff visited. Puerto del Mar is a 34 hectare nature favored domain in Nueva Valencia, Guimaras. It has three coves around which diverse holiday activities are drawn. The first cove, The Mooring Cleat, is a temporary anchorage. It is a picnic center where day tourist can hold simple or elaborate feasts under the sun, or r in the shade of several bamboo kiosks. The second cove, Aqua Center is the John B. Lacson Colleges Foundation Aqua and Solas (Safety of Life at Sea) center where students of the said school hold their training. The third cove, Villa Corazon is an unspoiled and unexploited stretch. Puerto del Mar is a place of refuge where one can experience silence from the depths of sweet seclusion; a place where one shift and slide through wary thoughts and unending problems; a place where one can experience eternity in the sounds of the surf, a place to unwind; a place for the playful and the carefree; a place where blue magic of the waves can move one from dreariness to frolic ... to tranquility. This holiday place offers duplex and single Cottages for rent. They are nipa and sawali huts named after birds treasured for their breeds (as pitaw, mayl, tulihaw etc.) Puerto del Mar also has pumpboats that can take guests around Guimaras, an island bigger than the whole Singapore.
