The Most HATED City in Puerto Rico

- In yet another Latin American adventure, I travel into the heart of Puerto Rico to explore Caguas. The city has been hit with population decline as its' young continually move off to San Juan or the United States. Caguas was once an important anchor in Puerto Rico's tobacco trade, which has long faded. Immigrant communities from Cuba, Dominican Republic and Colombia have undoubtedly yielded a different flair and influence to the city. Lets go explore and eat great food as always.
I am Puerto Rican and you’re not and no one is going to go to Puerto Rico and going to state that Caguas is the most hated city. I’ve never in my life heard this! thank you.
Reading way too much into the title… it’s a hook.
Caguas my home town. Good and friendly people. My grandma worked at the tobacco plant in the 50's. I miss it❤
I love this video. Caguas is my home town.
Puerto Rico had more Tabaco production than Cuba over 50 years ago, I remember going into many sheds filled with hanging leaves everywhere. Uncle's and extended family members had many fields of stocks, cattles, sugar plantations, 3 different kinds of potatoes, pigs, sheeps, pineapples, coffee fields, and many other crops. The economy was mostly based on agriculture years ago, and coffee, sugar, pineapple and Tabaco were a number one export product to European countries and the USA. Puerto Rican coffee is still sold at the Vatican for $38.00 a pound today
That's great history..... Thank you so much for sharing.... 38 bucks per pound?! WOW!
Santiago, Dominican Republic is the mecca of tobacco production in the world. Cuban cigar is world renowned because of the embargo, the scarcity of obtaining it, however, can be had easily in the DR. Even better, you can obtain it in Cuba, if you decide to travel there.
Puerto Rico doesn’t produce much sugar even to support her Bacardi production. That is done exclusively in the DR. If you get a chance, visit the Bacardi factory. I am not drinker. You would like it there. Safe travels…👍🏾
PS…I must add the tobacco is the most expensive agricultural product per pound.
I was born in New York City and grew up in Washington, DC. My family is from Santurce and Carolina, Puerto Rico. It has been over 20 years since I last visited Puerto Rico. Merry Christmas 2022 to all my Puerto Rican family living in Puerto Rico and on the mainland.

Nací en la ciudad de Nueva York y crecí en Washington, DC. Mi familia es de Santurce y Carolina, Puerto Rico. Han pasado más de 20 años desde la última vez que visité Puerto Rico. Feliz Navidad 2022 a toda mi familia puertorriqueña que vive en Puerto Rico y en el continente.
Always such a great history lesson. Happy new year and thanks for all you do my friend 🌞
Happy New Year Ronnie!! Be well in the new year my brother!
Born and raised in Caguas, thanks for sharing 👍
This was awesome, thank you for the memories!

Thank you so much Robby! We are going deeper with the next ones!
I am PR and I never heard this. Then again I only lived there for 23 years.
Thank you for an amazing cultural experience! I didn’t know about the tobacco industry, and the role women played in it. Your “subscriber” was so happy to see you 🤣🤣 And you capped it off with some great live music; I couldn’t sit still 😊! Well done, Keenan 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Loved the video 🙏🏼
Love your vids Keenan. I get the feeling 100k subs + will suddenly happen very quickly. Thank for posting again.
Ben!! I was wondering when you were going to pop up again on the channel.... Thank you my brother.... It's going to be an uphill battle it seems.....
@@KeenanLambert198 Sorry, been busily improving my Spanish. Guatemala in 5 months. I'm now under contract on a sailboat that I'm gonna name "No Cry". Keep an eye out 🙂

I've been watching your videos a wondering what you do be able to travel so much, i would like to do the same. And also your equipment. I want to do videos like yours but I always get nervous recording in public
My brother welcome to the family…. Link me on IG and I will give you all the details @Keeman198
I was born in caguas and generations before me are from caguas and its one of the most respected... I've never heard of anyone else call it the most hated
People in San Juan slander Caguas….. I’m not sure the root of it though
Another African american who thinks he knows PR culture.
I'VE NEVER HEARD OF CAGUAS CALLED THE MOST HATED. PLEASE ERASE THIS SILLY VIDEO AND GO TO AFRICA TO REPORT THERE. NOT PR.
@@KeenanLambert198 Why, because some dude told you so??? We don't have that reputation. Maybe Ponce does, but not us.
@@porkc78nj19I’m Afro-Jamaican American Btw…. You sound resentful?
Headed to Caguas this weekend
I love seeing you in Puerto Rico 😊😊😊❤
My girl Adeliza showed up!!! Today is going to be lucky day.... I'm playing lotto! Jokes! You've been missed! Thanks for stopping in my friend.... I have some Colombia coming then maybe a little Jamaica - then back to Cuba for a series :D
@@KeenanLambert198 okay you got jokes 😂😂 sounds great, looking forward to it!!
#PuertoRico, #TheBest Jamaican in Puerto Rico, because he knows more about our culture than we do.
How about you try my La Perla at Night video?

Great video bro
Thanks Juan!!!
Buenisimo video hermano, soy nacido en Caguas y he viajado diferentes paises pero no veo otro sitio para vivir pq tiene una magia encantadora. Dios te bendiga y siempre eres mas que bienvenido.
Great video, just gotta correct you with something as of now PR is a commonwealth therefore the Puerto Rican people aren’t leaving for the states; rather they’re leaving to the mainland. Great work, King !
Big ups!!!! You right - They're in fact departing for the mainland... I didn't want to sound like a colonizer and wanted to give them a bit independence.... Better must come for our Rican brethren....
My hometown, good work, we only second most hated.😂(After Ponce)😮
PONCE!!!!! HAHAA I had the privilege of going down there and buying some quenepas...
Keep making these brother! Love that you went to PR. My family is from there but I’m a Nuyorican. I wanna live in PR for a while to learn the language since I was never taught Spanish growing up.
Blessings to you NY fam! I think it would be hard to learn in PR because once they know you don't really speak spanish - they will switch to English 9/10... Or maybe that will encourage you to learn.... You still have family on the island?
@@KeenanLambert198 that’ll encourage me to learn haha i visited the island for the first time in March and loved it. Stayed in rural areas so I could be forced to speak Spanish. Humacao and Orocovis don’t have a ton of English speakers so it was fun practicing. I still have some family there too and I made a bunch of friends when I went there. It’s such a fun place to be man.
Going there next month
Bayamón and Carolina are more hated I think
Yeah. Ponce for sure. Maybe Guaynabo. I don't know WTF this dude is or why he calls us this.
this man has a really nice speaking voice, as weird as that sounds
Thanks Jordan!!!! Share the vids to your friends🙏🏾🫡
So why is this ctiy hated ? I think you should change the title to this vid , Cool video but bad title, and if its that hated can you please explain why?
Back in my 20’s I used to go to PR all the time because the flight was cheap and I enjoyed the culture and fresh fruits….. I always saw Caguas on the map and would ask people about it…. They would always laugh and tell me it sucks…. It seemed to be big town v. little town slander.
Caguas also has one of the largest population declines in the last 20 years….
I actually think it’s a great title because it yanks on the triggers of people….
If I name it Caguas… Puerto Rico’s forgotten city…. The title wouldn’t have been spicy enough.
You never gave a single thought to the idea that the title would offend people from there??? I am not "triggered", I am annoyed at some gringo who doesn't know anything about my country or my city slandering it because some other gringo made a face when he mentioned he wanted to go there.@@KeenanLambert198
Maybe I missed something. Why do you say that Caguas is the most hated city in Puerto Rico ?
Why is it the “most hated” ?? It’s beautiful there
I like it…. But I always hear the slander
I love zca g uas I live here
I love it too 🫡🙏🏾🙏🏾
I can’t believe you missed the bread from the panadería……..
Where at? I will be back soon!
@@KeenanLambert198 en el Centro. They’re open late.
La asturiana, calle Dr Goyco. Best bread in Puerto Rico. Also when in Caguas you have to eat a few tacos from El Cantinflas
@@CarlosGarcia-sg9sw theres a panadería en Ponce that might have the one in Caguas beat…..
The most hated neighborhood and spot in PR is Santurce Villa Palmeras la calle Laguna 💚💙🗽🇵🇷👍🏽
Why did you call it the most hated city? ?
2 reasons David:
1. I’ve been interested in going to Caguas for years… Whenever I would ask Puerto Ricans if they have ever been to Caguas they’ll usually say no and make a face.
2. Caguas experienced serious population decline from 2010 to 2020…
@@KeenanLambert198 All towns have experience serious population decline. Caguas is a vibrant city with good restaurants and much more. Maybe not a tourist town but more for locals. My family is not from there but when I’ve gone I see nothing to hate.
@@davidclaudio2473 I loved my experience in Caguas too! And I’ll probably head back before my baseball season starts…
@@KeenanLambert198 ruclips.net/video/EWk3usWAWJQ/видео.html
"Population decline" What a great argument.@@davidclaudio2473
I thought the most hated city was bayamon
You've given me another video idea Eugenio
i live in PR lets talk about Bayamon being the capital of PR where i live lol
What’s up in Bayamon?
@@KeenanLambert198 its hated more then caguas people refuse to go there
i meant it being the capital as its "better then san juan" cause we have a train
@@adamrosales3617 lol! What abt the Sagrado Corazon stop!?!? 😈
@@adamrosales3617 anything to do there?! I’ll make a video!
El Moreno ta pegao
You didn't tell us why it's the most hated city in PR
Brother Edwin,
I didn’t say why because even the people that hate it don’t even know why….
Because some random dude told him so, and he extrapolated that to "everyone". If I were to say any city or town has that reputation, I would say Ponce, Guaynabo, Carolina, or Bayamon would.
Hhahaha i hate Caguas with all my life. I cant believe this was recommended to me
I hate going to the malls there again and again and again and again and so on
😀🤣😈 I made this video just for you
Plaza Centro the worst mall in all of USA not just PR
I am from PR and I never hear about caguas being the most hated city. Thats a lie...
For years, I listened to people in SJ slander Caguas. Along with that Caguas has experienced a rapid population decline.... That's the reason for the title...
por que la gente no le gusta a caguas
Titles, are everything please remove that title thank you
No, the title isn’t going anywhere…
It’s caguas and Ponce
Ponce gets dragged too
Certified diabetes in a glass😂
I don't think so Cagua is a beautiful Place nice small City en Puerto Rico
@ 8:07 You're gettting too popular now cuz..
Lmao forreal!!! A man run up on me in the grocery store the other day 😂🥳 too
Why because it's a lot of blacks there??!! Damn!! When will it ✋! 😮
Gentleman please don’t talk to the ladies there. Worst place to do that. Most notorious place to get set up. Kidnapped and yeah y’all get the point. The guys there are very possessive and if they see their ladies talking or even looking it’s bad. I’m
From there I know. But I appreciate the content.
Racist much?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There is no such thing as a town in Puerto Rico. That hate it. No such thing that does not exist. Furthermore, you’re not Puerto Rican.
I guess its been a while since you've been in PR.... The Caguas slander is consistent in and around San Juan/Carolina/Santurce
I live in PR and you should report on things you know. @@KeenanLambert198
I’m going to report on anything I want actually…. What part of this video was “incorrect”?
Hahaha 😂🤣
Jamaica is a beautiful country better than Puerto Rico,we know that why don’t you go to Jamaica and report on Jamaica?you understand the culture you don’t see Puerto Ricans going to Jamaica and report on the culture or the towns..
I have 6-8 Jamaica videos on the channel. Maybe 6 PR videos… I love Jamaica because that’s my roots and my people. I love PR because I grew up with Puerto Ricans playing baseball in New York City eating their food. My first girlfriend was Puerto Rican… also…the round trip to PR from New York-Newark area is 110-130 round trip… It’s easier to go to Puerto Rico than Jamaica (350-450 RT).
Why are you hating and being racist? 😂😂😂 puerto Rico is amazing, that's why he's there. You don't need to tear one country to uplift yours. That shows insecurity. Puerto ricans have no issue with Jamaicans. They would love to tour Jamaica, but it's not cheap. It would be the price of an international flight. Also, unfortunately, the roads are not great, and it's not that safe to tour outside the resorts.
It is not the most hated city!
Please don’t be offended by the marketing
No homo this dude has the most relaxing voice I've ever heard i bet he gets all the ladies lol😅😅
