Description

The coastal town of Guánica, located in the southwest corner of the island, is the warmest municipality on the island and known for its relaxed vibe. A visit to this town is ideal for those who enjoy the beach and being in contact with nature, without the hustle and bustle of busy tourist areas.



Known as the paradise of eternal summer, this town is home to the Guánica State Forest, designated as a biosphere reserve by the United Nations, where you can enjoy hiking, birdwatching, visiting historic forts or secluded beaches like Tamarindo or Ballena.



You could also spend a day on a mangrove island swimming in calm, crystal-clear waters with a visit to Cayo Aurora, known by locals as Gilligan's Island. To this small and beautiful cay, you travel by ferry that operates from Tuesday through Sunday.
