After a 13 hour day of traveling, I arrived at my Airbnb in Dorado, P.R. It’s about an hour west of San Juan. I only stayed one night and yesterday I drove almost three hours (including sightseeing stops) to the west coast. I drove along the North Atlantic side. I’ll stay for two weeks, before heading East along the southern Caribbean coast.
My Airbnb in Dorado was only a minute walk to the beach. The weather wasn’t the greatest in the morning so I didn’t stay long.
My first stop was Reserva Natural Cueva del Indio. It’s $10 to park and I was the first one there. You walk over a lot of sharp rocks. They almost seemed volcanic. The views were beautiful!
My next stop was La Poza del Obispo. It’s a pretty circular Beach. There were a couple of guys swimming. This time of year is not the greatest for swimming because of the rip current.
The view from Mirador de Guajataca was gorgeous!
I stopped for a late lunch at a restaurant in Aguadilla. I tried one of Puerto Rico’s specialties, Mofongo. It’s a fried plantain-based dish made with fried green plantains mashed together with broth, garlic, olive oil. I chose the mixed seafood, with shrimp, fish, and maybe octopus to go on top. It was tasty, but not something I will seek out.
The houses are quite colorful there.
I stopped at Walmart for a beach umbrella and groceries. Today I’m going to have a massage. 🙂

Stunning scenery! I admire your independence. I could never have managed a trip like that on my own.

Thank you. People are capable of more than they think. Fear holds people back though.

I’m not sure if we will make it to Puerto Rico in our van but if we ever do we will certainly be heading to Reserva Natural Cueva del Indio, those photos are stunning! Oh and those colourful houses in Aguadilla remind me so much of La Boca in Buenos Aires!

Those are beautiful photos. I’ve only landed in Puerto Rico on my way to St. Thomas, never stayed there.
