Overview
Cordillera Central, is the main mountain range in Puerto Rico. The range crosses the island from west to east and divides the island into northern and southern coastal plains.
Description
The scenery in this area varies from mountains to caves, from plains to canyons and rivers, making this region a great destination for adventures of all kinds. Orocovis, one of the biggest towns in central Puerto Rico, is home to Toro Verde Nature Adventure Park, which boasts one of the longest ziplines in the world.
Another very popular activity in this region is Tanamá River cave-tubing tours, which is the perfect mix of deep adventure and leisurely ride, as you float along waterways and through subterranean chambers.
For some local flavor, choose to visit a working coffee hacienda such as Hacienda Tres Ángeles, in Adjuntas, where you can take a tour of the facility, taste samples of locally grown coffee, and enjoy mountain views. These haciendas usually also serve local food, such as white rice, stewed beans, and fried meat.
