I was in Puerto Rico earlier this month for 1 week. We drove from Rio Grande to Patillas, and took the eastern coastal route, and enjoyed the spectacular scenery. On the way back we tried to go to Punta Tuna Lighthouse, but they were literally locking the gate as we were pulling up. We missed the tunnel you featured, but did find a restaurant in Yabucoa named EL NUEVO HORIZONTE with an absolutely amazing view.
Gran video! Que hermosa se ve la ciudad De Maunabo. I would to visit that town. I will be ordering that tour guide. Gracias por el consejo informativo.🙂
Nice video! Wish the municipality would turn off completely the color light that surround the lighthouse during the night. We need to protect the few dark skies we do have in the island and comply with the DRNA light pollution laws. As the lighthouse is right next to a sea turtle nesting beach (Protected Zone 8), DRNA prohibits that kind of lighting in their vicinity.
A great video! However, your comments didn't quite cover the paradise that is Maunabo! My spouse is native to PR and a year ago we moved to Maunabo from the US. We love it here because of the beauty, but the main reason we love Maunabo is because the people are so nice, and there is pretty much zero crime. I don't know what the people at the church were talking about when they said the church was not open because of vandalism. Maunabo is a small town where everyone knows each other to some point. I grew up in a small town WAAAAAY smaller in Nebraska (120 people) and I know how small town people overreact to minor mischief that is legally considered criminal. The people at the church, I suspect, told you they weren't open to the public everyday because they overreacted to one one minor instance in the past but I could be wrong. There really is no crime here simply because we are such a small town that everybody knows everyone else's business. Maunabo is special because the society, overall, holds on to the old way of life. But, as a transplant from a small town in the US, I can easily see how people here are overtly cautious for no reason. Maunabo is really isolated in PR. Anyone wanting to visit really needs to make an effort because of its geographic location. There are only 3 roads to Maunabo so it is isolated and that, I think, is what makes this place so amazing! I'm in my 50's. I remember when I was young and people could get credit at a business just on their word. That still happens here, which amazes me! People treat each other like friends rather than just customers. At the time you visited the black sand beach Maunabo had just started a restoration project on the beach to redirect the river on the beach. Also, if you would have went a mile down the road you would have found a HUGE parking lot at the beach rather than the most inconvenient way from the lighthouse on the cliff.
We loved Maunabo, although we felt that ot doesn’t live up to its possibilities. As for the church vandalism issue, it didn’t come from the Maunabo church at all. It’s something that we’ve been told repeatedly, just not in Maunabo.
Sorry Sir. But supposed rising sea levels from global warming is entirely debatable, and little confirmed by science. And certainly not by unintentional human consumption. But that said, wonderful videos on the beauty of PR.
I produced a podcast about science and technology for over 13 years, so I could give you all sorts of scientific proof. But I’d rather not waste my time. Instead, I’ll just leave you with three words: “look around you”.

Glad you had a great time. Puerto Rico has amazing places to visit, if only municipalities understood it. Come back soon.
Very nice
Thank you. I do my best.
Thank you.

There are so many things that could be done in Maunabo, yet it feels like nobody’s minding the store. Thank you for your kind remarks.
