Ponce and the Southern Coast Feature

Parque de Bombas: Marvel at a century-old firehouse whose red-and-black color scheme has inspired thousands of photographers.

Bosque Estatal de Guánica: Hike where the cactus may make you think you're in the American Southwest.

Hacienda Buena Vista: Sample a cup of the local brew at the historic, beautifully restored coffee plantation outside of Ponce.

San Germán: Stroll cobblestone streets lined with architectural treasures; then dine on Puerto Rican fusion cuisine high above the main plaza.

Casa Cautiño: Step back in time to a colonial-era residence in the sleepy community of Guayama.
