Magaly
Rivera hosts a site that
provides a lot of information
of our Puerto Rico, and we
invite you to visit her site
and take some time to explore
our tropical island.
Within those pages you can
find a wide scope of
information pertaining to the
island, its culture, people,
where to find local exotic
hideaways, miles of white
sandy beaches, mountains and
valleys, and many other
natural wonders. |
Click on the map and to hear
the sound of the "coqui",
enjoy your visit to Puerto
Rico, but come back here!
Click
here to see a picture
of the coqui.

Verde Beach (I know this may
sound touristy, but this is my
favorite beach in Puerto
Rico.)

El
Morro
El
Morro was built for defending
against sea attackers; later
San Cristóbal was built to
protect against attackers
coming by hand.
Spanish troops built the forts
beginning in 1539 with a tower
at El Morro and La Fortaleza.
Most of the walls we can see
in the forts today were added
during the 1760's - 1780's,
even though there was constant
modification for centuries (El
Morro 248 years, San Cristóbal
150 years).
Although El Morro is more
famous, it is much smaller
than San Cristóbal. San
Cristóbal covers 27 acres of
ground (110,000 square meters)
and is the largest
fortification built by the
Spanish in the New World.
El
Morro rises over 140 feet
above the sea and has walls
from 18 to 25 feet thick in
places. San Cristóbal is
over 150 feet straight up from
the Atlantic shoreline.
The city walls which join the
two fortresses and once
encircled the entire colonial
capital city are 3.4 miles
long. The fortresses and
the walls, together with La
Fortaleza, are recognized by
the United Nations as a World
Heritage Site, one of only 12
U.S. National Park units to be
so designated.
The
historic grounds of El Morro
have recently been restored to
the way they looked when the
fortress was built and used.
The fort is open to visitors
every day of the year, except
Christmas Day. If you go
allow an extra 5-10 minutes to
walk from the parking area at
the end of the Norzagaray
Street at the Fifth Centennial
Plaza.
The
Caribbean National Forest,
approximately 28,000 acres in
size, is located in the rugged
Sierra de Luquillo, 40 km
southeast of San Juan. It the
only tropical forest in the
National Forest System.
Originally set aside in 1876
by the Spanish Crown, the
forest represents one of the
oldest reserves in the Western
Hemisphere.
The forest is an area of
extremes. It is the rainiest
National Forest; up to 240
inches per year have been
recorded on the higher peaks.
More than 100 billion gallons
of rainwater fall on the
Forest per year.
The
result of such heavy rainfall
and the warm tropical climate
is a dense evergreen forest
containing 240 native tree
species and masses of vines,
epiphytes, giant ferns, and
mosses. Twenty-six species are
found nowhere else. The true
rainforest, commonly called
the Tabonuco forest, is found
on the lower slopes below
2,000 feet elevation— and is
the most spectacular.
The Forest contains rare wildlife including the Puerto Rican Parrot, which is largely green in coloration, about 12 inches long, and displays brilliant blue wings in flight. At close range a vivid red forehead is also visible. It is found only in this part of the island. Approximately 50 other bird species are found on the Forest. Snakes are rare in the Forest. The largest one is the Puerto Rican boa which can attain a length of more than 90 inches. There are no poisonous snakes on the Forest or the island. Many species of lizards, crabs, and frogs, including the unique "coqui" are found in abundance throughout the forest. The Forest is a wildlife refuge; no hunting is allowed. Hiking is probably the best way to experience the Forest in its many different forms. Numerous trails provide access to the Forest, from the lowest valleys to the highest peaks. Some trails are very rugged and should be attempted only by well prepared and experienced hikers. At the Interpretive Service Center you can get information on which trail would be suited for you.
Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands provide an unusually favorable environment for studies in tropical forestry. The climate is frost-free and ranges in moisture from semi-desert to rainforest conditions within very short distances. More than 300 different soils are at hand, ranging from sand to clay, shallow to deep, and alkaline to acid. Some of the areas that were once cleared for agriculture are returning to forests. These areas are in all stages of reforestation and are close together. In addition, some of the untouched forest remains for study. These research areas are accessible and mapped. Despite pressures for these lands to be converted to other uses, areas of natural forest used for study have been protected against human disturbances, some for more than 30 years. |
