At nearly 29,000 acres, it is one of the smallest in size, yet one of the most biologically diverse of the national forests hosting hundreds of animal and plant species, some of which are found only here.Clean up efforts and initial assessments to El Yunque National Forest ecological resources and facilities continue after the impacts of hurricanes Irma and Maria. Visit the website for updates on hurricane recovery efforts.
Bahía Bioluminiscente
There are only five bioluminescent bays in the world and three of them are are in Puerto Rico. The most popular, Bahía Bioluminiscente or Mosquito Bay, is located on the island of Vieques off the east coast of the main island of Puerto Rico. In the waters of Mosquito Bay there are organisms named Pyrodinium bahamense, Dinoflagellates (dinos). These “dinos” are responsible for this amazing natural phenomenon. When the “dinos” come into contact with another organism or shaken they produce a bright burst of blue light.
Old San Juan
Old San Juan “San Juan Antiguo," is one of the most popular destinations in the Caribbean and the most visited place in Puerto Rico. Old San Juan has no beaches, no resort hotels, and not a whole lot of natural beauty—yet it's still one of the best places to visit in Puerto Rico. Old San Juan has an incredible 500 years of history, beautiful colonial architecture liberally splashed with tropical colors and timeless magic that makes it one of the most enchanting destinations in the Caribbean. You could spend many happy hours just walking around the walled city.
