El Yunque was my favorite place. I wanted to visit the forest at night but I ran out of time. Nearby, El Conquistador Hotel had an amazing view to the Atlantic ocean. (I cannot describe it in words). I also stopped by the florescent bay in Boqueron. I have never seen microorganisms glow at night!

There was an interesting landscape…[Read more]
