Día 3
Pernoctación: Mayagüez
Breakfast at the hotel. Our private bus will take us to the city of Mayagüez. On the way, we will stop at Tortuguero Lagoon, between the towns of Vega Baja and Manatí. It has been uniquely preserved due to its balance of fresh and salt water, and includes swamps, endemic flora, endangered species, silica sand and mogotes. We will then continue on Mar Chiquita beach, a lovely natural pool. The intense turquoise waters of the Atlantic bathe its limestone formations, creating an exceptional landscape. We will have a snack lunch at the beach, which includes many stands offering typical Puerto Rican food.
Following the break, we will visit Poza de Las Mujeres, another beach of singular beauty protected by a natural breakwater.
Luego viajaremos a Mayagüez y nos registraremos en el hotel.
Día 4
Pernoctación: Mayagüez
Breakfast at the hotel. We will discover the picturesque city of Mayagüez. On our walking tour through its tranquil streets, we will stroll the religious pilgrimage route of Porta del Sol Sagrado as well as Parque El Litoral Shorty Castro. During the tour, we will stop at Nuestra Señora de la Candelaría Cathedral, a church which was reconstructed after suffering a fire in 1841 and a seaquake in 1918. We will then see the inside of Yagüez Theater, opened in 1909 as a silent cinema. Its characteristic baroque style gained it the official title of historic architectural monument in 1976. Currently, the theater hosts concerts, locally produced plays, ballet shows and other events.
A continuación, comeremos juntos un delicioso almuerzo en un restaurante local.
Our cultural route will continue to museo Eugenio Maria de Hostos, Puerto Rican philosopher known as El ciudadano de América, who championed the independence of Puerto Rico, the unity of the Greater Antilles and of Latin America. He was the precursor of sociology in America.
Día 5
Pernoctación: Mayagüez
Desayuno en el hotel. Saldremos hacia la ciudad de Aguadilla, rica en tradiciones locales y belleza natural y especialmente notable por sus playas. Haremos una parada en el Macromural, un mosaico creado por el arquitecto Samuel González y compuesto por 10 tonos entremezclados. 15 murales de diferentes artistas componen la obra principal, con temas de pesca, mar y otros elementos costeros.
Our next stop is Aguada phiramid, a curious monument shaped like a Mayan pyramid. Nelson Ruiz constructed this work in the garden of his home in order to hold his ashes and those of his wife after their deaths.
Following a break in which we have lunch on our own, our route will continue to the Cara del Indio monument. Located in the township of Isabela, this sculpture hides among the rocks and vegetation. It represents Chief Mabodamaca, a Taíno leader who fought to protect his people from the Spanish conquistadors.

Following a break where we will all have lunch on our own, we will visit Hacienda Buena Vista, a historic center of the coffee industry, which contains restored structures more than a century old and a one-of-a-kind hydraulic turbine.
