    Nice video. I’d say going on that ferry twice to both islands was likely a logistical sacrifice. I’m planning a snorkeling trip next year sometime to Culebra island exclusively with flight directly from San Juan. I am trying to incorporate mosquito bay as well during trip and little culebrita.
    We did a 6 day cross island road trip this year and still left a lot on the table. Perhaps the most memorable and imo a very underrated portion of Puerto Rico is the center where the rivers are at around Utuando and Arecibo.
    You can find magnificent cave formations with rivers flowing underneath it. We literally did a real lazy river adventure with flying bats over our heads when cruising underneath the caves in a tube.
    We did a hiking/zip line/cave tubing excursion on the Tanama river and the atmosphere was so breathtaking that when I watch the videos. It just can’t capture the absolute rugged beauty of the landscape.

      Thanks a lot for your reply and for watching my video! One week that I’ve spent in Puerto Rico is definitely not enough for this place. I agree about the ferry ⛴️ part but flight ✈️ tickets seemed too expensive for me compared to to the ferry price and I thought about going on ferry as an adventure. However, maybe you’re right and it’s too much time spent on it.
      Also, I really appreciate you describing your trip across the island. 🏝️ Based on that and on someone else’s comment about the waterfalls, I do think that I will need to come back to Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷 Thanks again for your great feedback about my video, means a lot for me! 🙏

    The waterfalls in El Yunque are not the only waterfalls on the island. There are many much larger and more impressive waterfalls around the island. Even on the other side of El Yunque, outside of the national park, there are much larger falls.

      And if you ever do go back, I suggest the west side of the island. There are a lot of beautiful beaches there.

      @@polinaishavingfun sweetie you have to look around, where do you see the money going? As much as I agree with you, that’s not always the case anywhere. Just because a city is in a famous music video doesn’t make it safe and tourist-friendly, and that’s not the only town like that in Puerto Rico. The hurricane damage alone is STILL to this day not fully gone, a lot of my people are out there struggling and they don’t see where tourist’s money is going, just another thought 💭
