Las Cabezas de San Juan Nature Reserve is protected and managed by the Conservation Trust of Puerto Rico. Today, visitors can explore this ecological treasure through a two-hour guided tour that highlights three distinct ecosystems: the dry coastal forest, the mangrove swamps, and the rocky shoreline. The experience concludes at the historic Fajardo Lighthouse, built in 1880, offering panoramic views of the northeastern coast.
I recently joined the Historia y Naturaleza de Cabezas de San Juan tour and it was unforgettable. From vibrant wildlife to sweeping coastal vistas, here’s a look at some of the most breathtaking moments from the journey.
