Puerto Rico

The Camuy River Cave Park

The Camuy River Cave Park (Spanish: Parque de las Cavernas del Río Camuy) is a cave system in Puerto Rico. It is located between the municipalities of Camuy, Hatillo and Lares in northwestern Puerto Rico, but the main entrance to the park is located in Quebrada, Camuy. The caverns are part of a large network of limestone caves and underground waterways carved out by the third-largest underground river in the world, the Río Camuy (Camuy River).The cave system was discovered in 1958.

















Culebrita

Many people will argue with me over this one. On tiny Culebra Island, off Puerto Rico's eastern coast, the star attraction is generally considered to be the admittedly spectacular Flamenco Beach. But I prefer Culebrita for its isolation (you have to take a water taxi or private boat to get here), its unspoiled beauty, and yes, even its beaches. The lighthouse located here is the only man-made structure on the entire island. West Beach is a long stretch of sand right on the coastline with waters several shades of blue and terrific snorkeling. The Culebrita Reef is on the south side of the island. And the island's crown jewel is Playa Tortuga (“Turtle Beach”), a picture-perfect crescent of sand loved by both nesting turtles and humans.
