La Isla Nena: A Trip to Vieques

Puerto Rico has the most beautiful places of the Caribbean, well I'm Puerto Rican it's obvious that I would say that, but in this case, it's true. From the coast, with the beautiful beaches, to the center of the Island with the amazing mountains, Puerto Rico has a great diversity of scenarios for the in-land tourists or the international tourist. One of the places that I had an amazing time was in Vieques, one of the island Municipalities of Puerto Rico.

Playa Media Luna, near Sunbay

Vieques is approximately 21 miles long and 3 miles wide, with an area of 52 square miles. The island is located to the eastern side of Puerto Rico, near to the U.S. Virgen Islands. It's home of one of tree bioluminescent bays of Puerto Rico, known as Mosquito Bay. Around the island you can go to great snorkeling spots, and I'm sure you won't regret it.

I made a trip to Vieques on July of 2011, all the pictures that I will show you are from that time. Some places might have change, but the essence of the place it's what it counts. 

The camping area is located on the Sunbay Reserve, which is part of National Parks Company. For the camping on this area you are charged $10 per night, on the area there is showers and bathrooms, also a common area. 

For me the most beautiful beach on the Island is Media Luna, the way there is a little complicated but the outcome is amazing. The sand is almost white, and the water is very clear. 

The place that caught my eye was the Black Sand Beach, I didn't know that place existed in Puerto Rico. To get there we had to pass through a complicated trail, but at the end of it there it was, black sand and a beautiful scenario. 

The trip there was great, and I want to go back so bad. I hope to go there soon and update my pictures, and there might be a few changes too. I hope you guys like the pictures and that a new interest for another place in Puerto Rico has born. Come and visit my beautiful and enchanted island of Puerto Rico!! Like and share ~.^
