Sightseeing
El Yunque National Park is the only rain forest in the US National Park system. My rental is only about a 25-30 min drive to the entrance of the park. You do need a reservation to drive all the way through the park. Be sure to plan ahead as space is
limited. Go to https: //
www.fs.usda.gov/elyunque for more details.
It can be sold out for several weeks in advance. There are several places to stop along the drive. Many great photo ops, hikes, and rivers you can stop and take a dip.

Cayo Icacos
"If you enjoy snorkeling and
sailing, I highly recommend
booking a day trip to Icacos
Island, a small uninhabited island off the coast of Fajardo. A fun fact about the tour, the location of the reef where you can snorkel is the location where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean Sea. The marina is a 5 minute drive from the condo. There are several companies that offer sailing trips to Icacos, but I have had the best experience with Travelers. Book directly with them at https: // www.snorkelandbeachtour.com
We have also done East Island Excursions, several times with the family for snorkeling trips to Icacos.
Please contact them you can ask for Elizabeth. She is great if she’s available. 787-860-3434.
You definitely want to book these tickets sooner than later, they book very quickly.

El Morro
"Plan at least a day to explore Old San Juan and El Morro. Be sure to wear comfy walking shoes as you will be on your feet all day. The fort is massive and
there are so many areas to see, both inside and out.

"I highly recommend this as an overnight trip or a full-day stay on Vieques to get the most out of the island. There are many different beaches to see as well as other historic spots. To get the most out of the island, I would suggest renting a car or a golf cart to get around. The Ferry to Vieques leaves from Ceiba, which is about 5-7 minute drive from the rental. It is very inexpensive to take the ferry, but plan ahead and book your tickets early to make sure you get a spot. https://

Cueva del Indio
"This is a beautiful location
offering stunning views and
instagram moments. Do wear comfortable shoes or even hiking shoes/boots. Some of the limestone you will be walking on has very sharp edges, and be very careful of some of the holes that drop down into the caves below. It is not a good idea to be looking at your phone while walking here! This attraction is just outside of Arecibo, which is about 2 hours from the rental home. Bring cash for the entry fee (I believe its $10 per person).

Luquillo
"Luquillo is known for its beaches and the kiosks. It is also only a 20 minute drive from the condo. The kiosks are a long strip of restaurants, bars and shops
where you can find just about anything to eat. Its usually very busy on Friday, Saturday and Sunday but that is also when
most of the kiosks are open for business. Our favorite is Terruño which offers great drinks, and delicious seafood and traditional
Puerto Rican food.
Another favorite Luquillo restaurant is Brass Cactus. It is located in the town of Luquillo and they are known for their steaks and margaritas.

"Condado Beach is one of the most popular beaches in San Juan. It's in the heart of San Juan, near Old San Juan. There are lots of restaurants and bars
nearby. It can feel like one big party on the weekends and holidays. This is great place to be around people and have amazing Atlantic Ocean views.

"You could spend a day at this location. There are secluded beaches at the bottom of the trail, and the hike up to the lighthouse is long, but enjoyable.
There is a paved road you can walk along or a path through nature. The views are wonderful at the top near the lighthouse, but if you have a fear of heights,
stay away from the edge! This is most southwestern point of the island, and is around 3 hours from the rental.

Ceiba Beach is about a 10 minute drive from the condo, very small, quaint, but beautiful beach. Nice for a walk or quick dip into the Beautiful water of Puerto Rican. Occasionally a food truck is on the beach, otherwise be sure to pack cold drinks and snacks.
