About

Explore the historical site of the Guajataca railroad tunnel along with its secluded secret beach spot, followed by a short pitstop at the Cara del Indio monument of Isabela. From there we venture to the popular Crash Boat beach of Aguadilla and visit the historical downtown area for some local tapas and cocktails while discovering the classic west coast culture. Finally, we head down to the most western town of the island, Rincon. There we see Punta Las Higuera lighthouse right next to an old nuclear power plant, and Domes beach along with a few other local favorites. We end up right in time to experience a unique sunset in all its prestige and essence in the west.
