Most people concentrate on the main attractions on the metropolitan area of the island and here we feature other nice places to visit out of the way, they are worth the driving and the experience. Visit Map Puerto Rico (http://www.map-puerto-rico.com/) for more information.
Las Cuevas de Camuy National Park
This national Park features on of the largest cave systems in the world. Visitors will walk into parts of the caves and explore a small part of the system. The surrounding areas feature some nature settings that make for very good views. At this awe-inspiring underground Camuy cave park you can experience a magical ambiance created by nature. The caverns are unbelievably huge. The Clara Cave is so large that a 17 story building could fit inside of it.
La Parguera, Lajas, Bioluminescence Bay
Another very unique place to visit on the island. this bay has micro organisms on the water that when disturbed they “light up” and produce a beautiful display on the water. this phenomenon happens on various places around the world, but in Puerto Rico is the only place that is guaranteed for it to happen every night.
In the north par of Puerto Rico you can visit the famous radio telescope part of the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center (NAIC), the largest of this kind in the world. Its large receptor plate it’s larger than 12 football fields, used to spot signals from planets and in the SETI research for extraterrestrial life. Inside the Observatory there are science related exhibitions of different subjects to watch.
Mayaguez is home to the only public zoo in the island. The zoo 2 main animal selections are the African Forest and the African Savannah. Also it features a Beautiful bird sanctuary. Cages and open compounds stand in an attractively landscaped setting of small islands, a lake, tropical vegetation and children’s playground.
Any street in Ponce, Puerto Rico is in itself an outdoor museum of sorts. The city’s architectural treasures are lavishly decorated with wrought iron balconies, window grilles and ornamental trim. The Ponce Art Museum has the largest art collection of the Caribbean between pictures and sculptures. Its collection has many European works such as works by Velasquez, Rubens and Rodin, and others.
It is also the home to the largest Marina in the Caribbean, called Puerto del Rey. The town contains various hotels; the El Conquistador Resort is one of its most famous hotels. Off shore near Fajardo few islets can be found: Icacos, Palominos, Palominitos and Diablo, uninhabited coral islands.
For the divers, there is excellent clear water all around the cays, with plenty to explore. An excellent place to snorkel, the shallow waters at Seven Seas are swarming with tropical fish, coral and an abundance of other marine life.
Offshore reefs help keep the waves down and strong trade winds make it an ideal spot for sailing and windsurfing.
