The Mayaguez main square has a statue of Columbus.
Reviewed By Den N - Jersey City, New Jersey
Plaza Colon is all lit up in the evening and they have some amusement rides and lots of vendors to order local Puerto Rican food. The lights on the building change colors, it is gorgeous (not sure if they only do this during the holiday). Lots of people were walking around, it was very festive. An hour or two is fun to hang out here.

A noteworthy Mayaguez theater.
Reviewed By Zacevedo
I went with my family to see La Hija del Faraon Ballet, and we were very pleased with the theater. Clean, sophisticated, elegant and with marvelous architecture. Seats, lighting, accessibility. We enjoyed ourselves, not only watching the ballet, but admiring the beauty of the structure and chandeliers.

Everyone visiting Mayaguez should come here. TARS has an excellent collection of plants, a variety of trees, and if you are lucky, they may share some ripe tropical fruit with you.

Find the great explorer in Plaza Colon gazing out at sea.
Reviewed By williamkellett - dublin
The weather was fantastic when we went to Barcelona in early December so we decided to take a visit to the Columbus Statue.
The visit to the top of the statue is accessed by a lift and it will cost you €8 per person but the view is fantastic and well worth it to look down on the city of Barcelona.

I pooped in the casino because we were staying in the hotel. Clean and fun. A ton of slot machines and a few card tables. No smoky smell! Everything was in good repair and security was checking everyone that came in. Parking on the lot easy in and out.

I had the opportunity to experienced this side of the island in a cycling event! the scenery, the towns, and the people are great. This side of the island provides you with an amazing experience by the ocean like boat tours that includes La Parguera, this is a lake in which the water has micro organism in it that are flourescent so when you take the boat tour you get to see the water completely flourescent!!!! this is unique of the Island you can't find this anywhere else in the world!! make sure you stop by La Parguera!!!

The only large-scale zoo in Puerto Rico, this 45-acre tropical attraction is home to a wide variety of animals including elephants, hippos and exotic birds and reptiles.
Reviewed By Ramon R
Seems that this place was really nice 2 years ago, now you can tell the lack of mainteniance.
Is true that the animals look very sad... and some animals are missing, like the can kangaroo couple, where there is only one left...
Peacocks are walking everywhere, which is ok, but I also found a big iguana walking in the sidewalks...
Definitely they need to do something to restore the place.

I have been visiting Mona Island with my brother twice a year for the last 11 years, as part of a group of pre-selected Scientist, Biologist, preservationist, and hunters that controls the population of wild-life(my brother is a disease control researcher) and avid Hunter and conservation activist. We take part in counting,taging, researching and controling the Population of Wild Goats, Wild Boards, Ferrel Cats and Comodo Dragons found on the Island. I work for the Goverment in the US to mantain funds coming to the Island for the research team. at any one time there are only 75 to 100 people a week on the Island, there is no Water or Food, You bring all the necesities for the whole week you come saturday and leave the following saturday.
