Weekend Fun – Discovery Bay Paddle Boats

Gwenn — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 15:59:37 +0000

If you're looking for a laid-back outdoor activity in Puerto Rico that's fun, affordable, and family-friendly, the fanciful designed pedal boats at Discovery Bay Paddle Boat Park are a great option. The activity takes place just across the street from the Casa de Arbol/Tree House at Parque Colón, located waterfront, on the Aguadilla/Aguada border. Here, a river slowly flows into the ocean, creating a calm, lake-like area that's perfect for pedal-boating. The water is peaceful, making it an ideal spot to enjoy nature with someone for a short while.

Driving on Highway PR-52 near Cayey, you can't miss the large statue of the Three Kings (Three Wise Men) perched up on a hill. This is La Loma de los Reyes in Guavate, and the artist has added something unexpected - two giant hands jutting out from the hillside. We decided to check out the hands and statue at La Loma de los Reyes, and of course, it made for the perfect excuse to stop for lechon for lunch in Guavate.

Something for Everyone at El Gran Parque del Norte

Gwenn — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 22:00:24 +0000

El Gran Parque del Norte in Hatillo is one of my favorite parks in Puerto Rico. It literally has something for everyone! It's like two parks rolled into one - the "fun park" side with rides and activities for kids, and the more natural side with a beach, boardwalk, outdoor sports, and tons of photo ops. Located right off Route 2, it sits on the border between Hatillo and Camuy - just an hour west of the San Juan area. I think it's absolutely worth a stop if you're anywhere nearby. We always enjoy our visits and come away with gorgeous photos. Plus, the park is really well-maintained.

High in the cool mountains of Aibonito, you'll find the Reloj de Flores de Aibonito, one of the few large-scale floral clocks in the world. It is both a functioning clock and a living garden. Unlike a traditional clock, the Reloj de Flores is alive — its face is formed by carefully arranged plants and flowers that change with the seasons.

Step Back in Time at Colmado Soller in Camuy

Gwenn — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 22:00:48 +0000

If you venture deep into Camuy, you'll reach the crossroads of PR-451 and PR-486, where the towns of San Sebastián, Lares, and Camuy converge. Standing quietly at this junction is a weathered sentinel of Puerto Rican history: Colmado Soller. Founded in 1882, it is considered the oldest colmado (corner store) in Puerto Rico. After being closed for years, it reopened in 2025 - as not just as a place to grab a drink and hang out, but as a living museum steeped in nostalgia, inviting visitors to reminisce about the past.
