The Marshes of Maunabo by the Sea at the end of Playa Faro. composite picture by Elena

The marshes at the river exit in Maunabos Playa Faro


On a scenic drive around the south east tip of Puerto Rico be sure to get out of your car on the 'Faro Playa' beach, just west of the Punta Tuna lighthouse. At the very western end of the beach the sluggish river lets out into the sea through this lovely marsh. The whole area is very beautiful and the lighthouse is visible to the east from the beach. The waters are too rough and sometimes dirty from the river, so this is not a good place to swim. You should not get wet in the river, due to schistosomiasis.

If the restaurant is open, have a wonderful lunch here. Then continue west ( or east) on your scenic route. If you are going west and back to San Juan you should drive up Road # 15 to Cayey, which is get onto just after the by pass to Arroyo. ( Divine lunch and view at the Jajome Terrace Restaurant at the top of #15) . . or continue west to Guayama and on to the Coamo Hot Springs or the city of Ponce.

Please note: I have worked hard, over the last 5 years, to take pictures of Puerto Rico that portray it well and show people the best of what there is to be seen. I hope you enjoy my pictures, I welcome you to use them; but only if you are fair and credit me with them. Please play fair! Recently people have placed them all over the internet with no credit nor any link to me. I call that mean. All you have to do is put a link to www.elyunque.com and then we can all share them.

If you use them for advertising your business, without a hyperlink to me I will consider that stealing and illegal.

Also, please do not name the jpeg elyunque, call it something else.

Thanks, enjoy and use with a link.. Elena www.elyunque.com
