Bosque Estatal de Guanica, Guanica

Unfortunately the hurricane destroyed a lot of the area as well as a part of the road to get there. The parking is a little further so it's a nice walk through the area to see all the beautiful places. Went there for the sunset which was really good and nice to see. There were only a few others. Roads towards the parking are good and the local people are nice as well.

What a cool place, a hidden gem in Puerto Rico. I highly recommend visiting here. The main visitor center was destroyed in an earthquake a year ago (according to the park ranger). At first we didn't really know what to do here since the park ranger was at lunch and there were only 2 other cars in the parking lot. We ate a picnic near the visitor center and used the clean bathrooms nearby. By the time we had ate, the park ranger was back and told us about the trials. There's only a handful of trails and he recommended the trail that makes a loop and has an option to go to El Vigia view point. If we do this trail, I highly recommended going to the view point, it is only about an extra 15 minutes and is absolutely stunning. The main trial is 45 minutes (without the view point detour) and doesn't have a ton to look at, though the whole hike is nice, easy, and interesting considering you are in a dry forest on a Caribbean Island. Definitely check out the cave nearby the picnic area, that was really cool too!
