I highly recommend the tour of Sandra Farms. Until this tour, I had no idea that quality coffee is actually produced in the US, and I've been roasting my own coffee at home for years. I've always wanted to visit an active coffee farm and Israel's tour did not disappoint! I learned a bunch and thoroughly enjoyed the coffee, chocolate and the views. Hearing Israel talk, you can really feel his passion for producing top grade coffee and you gain an appreciation for this unique place. Sure, the road in is a bit of an adventure, but that's just part of the fun! (and it's really not that bad) :-P And for other coffee geeks out there: After getting their green coffee home and trying different roast levels, my favorite is right around City+. It's bright and nutty with hints of fruit (to my palate). It compares well to other premium gourmet and boutique coffees. [Sandra Farms, Wet Process, Medium Coffee.

It had been years since I last visited the Guánica Dry Forest, and it was even more beautiful than I remembered. The park opens promptly at 8:30 am and admittance is free of charge. By 8:45 am we were on our way to Fuerte Carpón, and the temperature was already 86 degrees F. There's a parking area and visitor center in which you must register before going on any of the hiking trails. There are 2 ways to get to Fuerte Carpón: there's a shorter trail that takes about 20 mins. to get there, and there's the longer trail of about 6 miles total, which is the one we took. It took us about 1 hr. each way, and with stops and such, you should plan for about 3 hours for the entire excursion. The road to get there is rocky and for the most part flat, but there are however a few hills in which you should pace yourself, specially on the way back from the fort. You will see different bird species along the way, some of which, oddly enough, will even pose for pictures. You will also see different plants and cactus. As you approach the latter part of the trail you will be able to see the beautiful scenery, with stunning views of the Malecón and Caribbean Sea. You will also approach some flags that are located on the right - just remember to veer to the left at the next intersection and Fuerte Carpón will be just further ahead. Once you get to the Fort, you will start wondering why you didn't take the shorter trail! But once you're there you'll be able to take some really nice pictures and enjoy the warm Caribbean breeze. The fort itself is smaller than I expected, and has some graffiti, but it's truly remarkable to see how well those ruins have sustained for so many years. It's been said in previous reviews to take plenty of water with you, and I can't stress that enough. The humidity and weather can become oppressive and your body will be asking for hydration. We ran out of water mid-way and wished we had taken more. This experience was definitely worth the hike and definitely great exercise. Be sure to bring comfortable shoes appropriate for hiking/walking, and appropriate sportswear. Sunscreen, hats and shades are also a must.

This lookout tower in El Yunque is sometimes incorporated into Santeria (an Afro-Caribbean religion) ceremonies.

Great hike on a paved path. Beautiful lush green rainforest with beautiful fauna and flowers. So peaceful and serene listening to the coqui frogs as we hiked. Watch for the Humming birds. They are everywhere.

Once again we had this beautiful spot to ourselves. It is a short flat walk from a parking lot. The lighthouse itself is decaying and is fenced off. There is a sign explaining its history. The views from this point are spectacular!

7. El Morrillo
El Morrillo is a spot at the top of Humacao's Natural Reserve, where two abandoned bunkers from World War II can be found. The spot also offers a priceless view of the sea and Vieques Island.
