With all the forests getting thinner and thinner all around the globe, you better explore the forests now before they disappear. The zillions of unique planktons swimming in the waters of the Vieques island, dry and arid climate of the area, and the Guancia dry forest offers the tourists plenty of things to indulge themselves into.
Located on the South West coast of Puerto Rico, the Guancia biosphere reserve includes both coastal areas as well as mangrove habitats. This forest acts as a source of livelihood of the people living in eight nearby municipalities. The forest attracts plenty of tourists to the area and also provides a lot of materials to the people. Recently, Erik Olsen visited the region after being influenced by an article he read.
The writer was particularly interested in paddling the Bio bay reserve. At night he swam in the local waters. I will have to agree that he has some guts to swim around at night. I wouldn’t do that. The best part about this area is the landscape that is formed by the salt spray and winds that never die. The 9500 acres of forest doesn’t really look like one.
Yet another interesting fact about Guancia is: it is home to 140 different species of birds as well as plenty of flora and fauna. However, most of these birds shuttle between Puerto Rico and Guancia. So, if you are a bird watcher, you can visit Guancia whenever you want. Pelicans are probably the dominant birds found in this region.
The bio bay reserve is bioluminescent and the best of it’s kind. The environment is created from the luminescent planktons that glow at night. It is a natural wonder and very magical indeed. The visitors normally consider this to be an experience of their lifetime.
Besides birdwatching, paddling and glowing planktons, the island offers activities like biking, diving, Horse back riding as well hiking. So if you are still looking for a place to visit for your next vacation, come on down to Vieques island.
