Caminata Panorámica | Annual Scenic Hike across Puerto Rico

Join me for the annual scenic hike across the entire island of Puerto Rico, east coast to west cost every weekend in February and March.

For over 30 years, Puerto Ricans gather from all over the island to walk. Not in protest, or as a punishment, but as a community of nature lovers who set out each weekend for 2 months (February and March) to walk across the island.

I am a huge fan of wall dives, and the wall at Isla Catalina sounded perfect with scuba, snorkel, beach day complete with souvenir shopping and hot BBQ lunch.
