Guajataca Forest

Published by Ron at 11:48 pm under Hiking

This forest is located in the northwest, near Arecibo. (If you are in the area to see the Radio Telescope or the Rio Camuy Caves, be sure to stop be here also.)

Evelyn and I have done several hikes in this forest. It’s usually quiet (very few visitors compared to other forests) and the trails are well maintained.

Be sure to visit the Wind Cave, which is on one of the trails. Now if you are expecting wind, then look elsewhere, since it’s never been windy when we’ve went there. However, you will find some steep (but well maintained) stairs that lead down to a clean cave. You’ll see bats and bugs and the usually amount of dripping water. Be sure to bring flashlights–headlamps are better–you won’t see anything without them. We’ve gone about 500 feet into the cave (no crawling is necessary) and plan to do more once we live on the island.
