Founded in 1775 and named after a local Indian chief, Caguas is located south of San Juan in Puerto Rico’s largest valley. Visit Carite Forest Reserve, a 6000-acre reserve housing a dwarf forest, fifty species of birds, and ample picnic areas and camp grounds, or head to Sotomayor del Toro Reserve on the steep slopes of Cerro La Santa. Here the tallest peak reaches 3,000-feet high and you’ll find glistening streams, numerous wildlife species, and amazing panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea. Other places of interest include the Botanical and Cultural Garden, Historical Museum of Caguas, Abelardo Diaz Alfaro Pink House, and Carraizo Lake, Puerto Rico’s largest lake.
