To touch my bare feet on the land my ancestors walked on , see what they saw , touch what they touched ,hear what they heard , was just incredible . WARNING - wear sneakers and pants ! Especially if you want to climb up and go inside the cave to see the petroglyphs (worth going in ) . You will also have to walk through some Brush to get to the arch and you will want pants for this . This is not for those that do not have good balance / stability as the rock surface you climb is VERY VERY jagged , uneven , and slippery after rain . DO NOT use your cell until ready to stand still ! There are too many holes and rocket points . Lastly - the gps will take you to a main "entrance" where you will be told it is $10 per person to get in . These people do not work for the park nor does this money go to the park . These people own the land that bars access to the easiest way in and out of the site . THATS IT ! there are free entry points ! They just require more walking to the site itself . We paid the money but were highly disappointed to find out that they don't even give back for the conservation / preservation of the site .we had the privilege of meeting the geological team (they were there on 5/12/2026) from the university of San Diego and they informed us of this issue with the owners of this land not cooperating with them and their team either . It's sad considering they are part of this island and making money off of a natural site . Otherwise this visit was one of my favorites.

Since our flight home wasn't until the evening and ended up being delayed until 8 p.m. because of…read morerain in NYC, we decided to make the most of the day after checking out of our B&B by visiting one last coastal town. Thankfully, the husband-and-wife duo who run the B&B suggested we come to this town. Piñones turned out to be everything we didn't know we needed: a strip of restaurants lining both sides of the road and endless miles of beach. My husband and I immediately kicked ourselves for not thinking of coming here earlier. You've heard of bar hopping? Well, in Piñones, it's restaurant and kiosk hopping. There are kiosks with the Puerto Rican fried staples: bacalaitos, alcapurrias, pastelillos as well as full-meal sit-down restaurants to get your spread. You want octopus too? There's ensalada de pulpo and if you need to wash it all down, grab a cold one or a natural juice like Tamarindo, Passion Fruit or Cherry. This town isn't some polished, Instagram-perfect tourist trap- this is Puerto Rican coastal street food in its raw, beautiful form.

Old San Juan is a must visit. It doesn't matter how many times you've been here. There's always…read moresomething new to discover. You may even rediscover a part of your past... like I did. It's a timeless Spanish Colonial town filled with charming old-world atmosphere, tropical settings, and tasty treats. It's truly a very walkable city. You just need to know what you want to see and how to get there. Those with mobility issues may need to map out a route with less of an incline. There's a free trolley in the city that used to be very reliable. My mom was very happy to see it during her very last pre-pandemic trip back to the island. I didn't see any of them this time around. Although, that might have been because of the Ironman race. The traffic looping through this part of the city is already bad enough. The roads being blocked off for marathons & festivities make it more difficult to get around. I hope they can improve transportation services for both locals & tourists alike. This is why walking around town is highly recommended. We originally wanted an Uber drop off at Plaza del Quinto Centenario. The roads were blocked off so we ended up at Plaza Colon on the east side. It turned out to be a good starting point as we made our way to Paseo de la Princesa. On our way, we just happened to spot a café-lined public square with a statue of a famous Puerto Rican composer named Arturo Somohano. I would definitely stop here for coffee if ever on a short shore excursion. It's close to the port, yet it's hidden by the Hotel Rumbao. There's also a Starbucks in this square. But, I must tell you. The highlight of our most recent visit was walking along the Princess Promenade and the fortified walls of the city to the San Juan Gate. I know a lot of people go to the forts (El Morro & San Cristóbal), and you should if you've never seen them. It's just that this southwestern part of OSJ wins my heart every time. It's a beautiful nature walk with many landmarks such as La Fortaleza, La Casa Blanca, Pigeon Park, and Paseo del Morro. There's a cat park as well and many garita viewpoints along the wall on your way to El Morro. All with great coastal views. It was also great to visually trace our steps the following evening when leaving on our 7-Day cruise from the Pan American Pier. That whole area along the promenade leading to the San Juan Gate and El Morro is lit up at night. The entire town sparkles when viewing it from the mouth of the bay. It's a beautiful sight that will always be remembered. A great beginning & ending point to any cruise.

Some people may not agree with me on this, but I found La Coca Falls to be much nicer than La Mina…read moreFalls (which most people say is the best waterfall in El Yunque). La Mina requires quite a trek down and back up, while La Coca is right off the main road. You can stop and take photos of La Coca from afar, or hike up to it and get sprayed by the refreshing mists of the falls. La Coca is much more powerful a waterfall than La Mina also, and many people hike right up the side of the falls and right up to the face of it. You can't get all the way into the falls, but you also don't have to hike down the "challenging" trail that La Mina requires, and then hike back up (double as hard!) Both falls have their benefits and drawbacks, but overall I definitely preferred La Coca.

We had a very difficult time finding the actual Charco and when we did the only way to access it…read morewas by swimming into muddy water. We opted not to swim and just observed the Charco from a high point on the "trail". There is very little signage in the area directing you to the Charco or any "trails". I use quotation marks because there really are no trails, just the access road used by the water authority. At first, we drove completely past the Charco, despite using the supposedly exact GPS coordinates. We stopped and asked a guy doing yard work around his house for directions and that got us on the right road. We then parked, as suggested by other reviewers, at a private lot at the top of the hill where a local homeowner had small lot parking available for $3. We then walked down the hill to the river. There's a tiny overgrown sign directing you to the Río. We went down the steep hill and saw the water authority's little blue station. Then we wondered how to get to the Charco. There are no signs, nothing. We followed what appeared to be trail along a cliff but had to turn back at an impasse. The "trail" was very overgrown and full of fallen trees and brush. We then ran into some local youth and they directed us to follow the river. We walked then waded down the river for awhile. Note, if you're going to try to check this out, you will want some good water shoes with lots of traction. We reached a small area where the youth appeared to have camped earlier. Here's where you could potentially swim further in and observe the caves. I climbed back up on the "trail" and could see some of the vista I'd seen on YouTube and Instagram. Looks nice but if you don't want to swim in questionable looking water, not the best. The complete lack of trails and appropriate signage seriously detracted from our experience. Unless you're a hard core adventurer willing to both hike and swim with the appropriate gear, I would not recommend visiting this Charco. Also, as there are no actual trails I would not recommend this for kids or anyone with mobility issues. Go the El Yunque instead where the trails are paved and well maintained.
