Sorry Sir. But supposed rising sea levels from global warming is entirely debatable, and little confirmed by science. And certainly not by unintentional human consumption. But that said, wonderful videos on the beauty of PR.

Climate change and rising sea levels is not confirmed by science hermano. But that, nice, informative vids on PR.

I haven't been to PR in 6 years but i will be visiting Loiza in two weeks and I'm so excited to go. I can't wait

Im glad that you Know the story of this town,aplausos para usted!

Thank you for this video.

Very accurate video thank you.

Sounds like traveling in Italy. Thanks for the informative video. You have a new subscriber from North Carolina.

I really enjoyed your video. This is a place my grandparents lived.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

my family is from here 😁

I am so proud to be aibonitena . I have been living in NY for over 50 years but I don’t forget where I come from. God bless my town. I was born en el barrio Llanos Adentro .God bless my town ❤

You took the long way too NARANJITO. Get hip next time.

This is the first of your videos that made me feel sad. It's sad seeing a town in that kind of shape. I have an uncle (by marriage) that's from Arroyo.

Generations of my family were married and baptized in that church. From 1805

I don't have any personal experience with Cidra. I've never been there for anything, don't have family that is from there, and if I went through it, I didn't realize it. But I like it. I love mountain towns, and it definitely qualifies.

The caves and Pilones sounded right up my alley. I love caves, and I love a river swimming spot. The guided tour sounds great, especially for the reasonable price.

When I visited Puerto Rico last month, we took a trip to Patillas to visit a friend. We came from Rio Grande, and took the eastern coast route, which provides some great coastal scenery. On the way we found this restaurant called EL NUEVO HORIZANTE in Yabucoa, which had an absolutely incredible view. The kind of view that you feel in your stomach.

The "company towns" is new to me. I became aware of some details that made Puerto Rico seem like a "company island" for Domino Sugar Company under Charles Herbert Allen. There were some details of money conversion, and other injustices that I really didn't totally understand. This is probably a big part of why Pedro Albizu Campos came back to PR, instead of pursuing one of the many offers and opportunities that he had available to him. I imagine he came back to fight against this type of injustice.

I will buy your book titled “PUERTO RICO BEACH BY BEACH”!! Thanks for sharing your lovely stories and awesome videos with the world.

Excellent video, very well put together & narrated. I love Aibonito.❤

My first job as a teacher in Quebrada Negrito and La Gloria Judith love it😂😂❤❤

I have 2 specific memories of Salinas. One was going from Carolina, where I was staying, to La Pista de Salinas back around 1990. It was back before GPS, and I felt accomplished making it there to see the races. The second memory was stopping to eat, while doing one of the "around the island in a day" drives. And yes, it was seafood.

A lot of good memories there. I was from el barrio ricon de Gurabo the countryside.

All towns in PR.has in the center the same estructure catholic church,city hall and between the public square.

La Casa Museo Federico Degetau y el Patronato del Archivo Histórico de Aibonito agradecen la aportacion de tu trabajo para nuestro pueblo. La información a través de este canal viajara a otros lugares fuera de Puerto Rico, donde residen aiboniteños y sus familiares, recreando memorias en el tiempo. Una información de gran utilidad para el visitante.

This was 5 months ago in what year. Yes, Arroyo like many other towns in Puerto Rico became worst after Maria. Many of them are usually devastated by bad weather. But let me clarify for you, many towns were in bad condition before Maria. Before they were beautiful Places. Most of them had small store fronts around the Town Plaza and there was plenty of life back then. But I will tell you something many may not know. When private Developers assisted by our politicians, began to build Huge Mall Developments of private entity, the town were left abandoned because the small business owners could not compete with these big developments. Nevertheless, there are still many beautiful places to discover. For one, I recently visited Arroyo and I found it reappealing. I know because I am a native of Arroyo. I see how it is revitalizing. If only Politicians would have use that 1% of taxes collected, that was suppose to be used to Vitalize and renovate the towns, it would be a different story. Show me a politician that has left office being less wealthy than when they enter an Official Government post. They are the ones who manage the economy so who is really to blame. Sad but true, as far as I am concerned. But there is still room for change. God Help us all.

I was the viewer that commented about being surprised that you weren't Catholic. I would have put money on it. For you to praise Cerro Gordo Beach the way you did, has put it on my to do list for the future. My personal favorite on the main island is La Playuela (aka Playa Sucia) in Cabo Rojo. That whole lighthouse area is magical to me, so I'm drawn to La Playuela because you get to enjoy that as a backdrop. I don't mind that it doesn't have facilities, or shopping, or food, etc. I love that it feels so remote and natural. As a kid, I shared the Lin-Manuel Miranda experience. While living in NY, my parents would send me for a month during the summer breaks to PR, and I would spend it with an aunt who lived in Canovanas. My most recent visit to PR was last month, when I went the funeral of that aunt.

It was either 2013 or 2014 when I went to PR on vacation, and specifically timed it to be in PR for the Flower Festival in Aibonito. My wife and mother-in-law love plants and flowers, so it seemed like it would be a perfect event to work into our trip to PR. I also took a guided tour into the Canyon about that time, which I really enjoyed. I didn't tour the Degetau Museum, but we did visit Piedra de Degetau Lookout, which provided great views of the city.

Mi Pueblo bello ❤️🇵🇷

A great video! However, your comments didn't quite cover the paradise that is Maunabo! My spouse is native to PR and a year ago we moved to Maunabo from the US. We love it here because of the beauty, but the main reason we love Maunabo is because the people are so nice, and there is pretty much zero crime. I don't know what the people at the church were talking about when they said the church was not open because of vandalism. Maunabo is a small town where everyone knows each other to some point. I grew up in a small town WAAAAAY smaller in Nebraska (120 people) and I know how small town people overreact to minor mischief that is legally considered criminal. The people at the church, I suspect, told you they weren't open to the public everyday because they overreacted to one one minor instance in the past but I could be wrong. There really is no crime here simply because we are such a small town that everybody knows everyone else's business. Maunabo is special because the society, overall, holds on to the old way of life. But, as a transplant from a small town in the US, I can easily see how people here are overtly cautious for no reason. Maunabo is really isolated in PR. Anyone wanting to visit really needs to make an effort because of its geographic location. There are only 3 roads to Maunabo so it is isolated and that, I think, is what makes this place so amazing! I'm in my 50's. I remember when I was young and people could get credit at a business just on their word. That still happens here, which amazes me! People treat each other like friends rather than just customers. At the time you visited the black sand beach Maunabo had just started a restoration project on the beach to redirect the river on the beach. Also, if you would have went a mile down the road you would have found a HUGE parking lot at the beach rather than the most inconvenient way from the lighthouse on the cliff.

The easy way is by bayamon I always use that route

Mi pueblo del alma Gurabo 💛

You never went to my hometown of Arecibo. Just wondering why. Good content. But just disappointed that you didn’t get there.

Mi inició en la vida. Allá fue donde tiré mis primeras piedras 🪨 y mi primer oficio pescando almejas y cocolias. En la Comunidad Las Mareas, Salinas PR. Qué vivencias tan puras. ♥️🇵🇷💯🙏💃

Great vid and awesome music! I’ll be there in June 2024.

We spent 7 days and nights in Corozal last month (on a finca) and absolutely loved our time there!! This was our 3rd trip there from mainland US~ each time we visit a different area of the beautiful island! 💜 your videos!

Another video, Yayyy!!! Thank you, great job btw.

My memory of Corozal is some horseback riding that we did with a guy named Rafael Torres with PR4Less Tours. He took us horseback riding on trails, in rivers, and on the roads. The roads made it feel real PR style, since you often see that while in PR. The roads was the scary part, since you feel like the horses are gonna slip and fall. After watching several of your videos, I thought for sure you were Catholic, since the Catholic churches are always featured in your videos when visiting these towns.

I pray that all Catholics read the testimony of Alberto Rivera.

Those gringos are all about money. Thanks for such an informative video.

I've been to Charco Azul twice. The last time was especially enjoyable. We stopped in Guavate FIRST, picked up some food to go, and brought it with us to Charco Azul. And yes, you better believe that we cleaned up after ourselves. Charco Azul is definitely deep in sections, and jumping off the rocks into it, is fun. Just visually check the area that you are jumping into, for peace of mind.

Whoa, the information on El Monumento del Jibaro is news to me. I just visited this month, after being away for 10 years, and I had no idea that the parking area had been eliminated, and that access has pretty much been cut off. I've made several stops at El Monumento over the years. It's always been a nice "rest area" stop to stretch our legs, and think about my jibaro roots. Jibaro to me is not a bad word.

I'm so happy I found this. Thank you for taking the videos and telling what you could about the town. My maiden name is Arroyo, and this is one of the places I'd like to visit some time in the future. Hopefully one day it will be restored.
