Travel writer explores attractions in Puerto Rico’s Río Grande
A travel writer describes visiting the municipality of Río Grande in Puerto Rico this month to explore its local attractions and dining options.
Visit includes El Yunque Forest
The author traveled to Río Grande, a location thirty minutes from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport. This municipality is affectionately known as La Ciudad de El Yunque due to its proximity to the national forest. Guests may walk along paths or ascend the Yokahú Observation Tower to enjoy sweeping vistas of the verdant green foliage. Within the forest lives the Puerto Rican spindalis, a tiny yellow-bellied bird that is indigenous to the island.
Golf course and nearby islands
Bahía Beach Golf Club features an eighteen-hole par-72 course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr in 2008. The layout stretches 6,890 yards through tropical landscapes with fifteen holes bordering water before reaching the Atlantic coastline. Travelers can also sail from Fajardo to explore Culebra and Icacos Island for snorkeling among coral reefs.
New restaurant opens in November
Perla restaurant opened this November at Four Seasons under executive chef Victor Rosado. The establishment offers small bites including Parker House rolls served with smoked butter and spicy salmon mousse. This dining spot is located within the municipality that serves as an idyllic home base for tourists.
