Description
Bosque Seco, Fuerte Caprón y Ruinas del Faro en Guanica. Turismo Interno Puerto Rico
El Bosque Seco de Guánica está localizado en costa suroeste de Puerto Rico y abarca los pueblos de Guánica, Guayanilla, Yauco, Peñuelas y Ponce.
Tiene una extensión de aproximadamente 11,000 cuerdas que incluyen 8 millas náuticas marinas y 21 Km. de costa. Para llegar a este bosque único en su clase, debemos llegar al municipio de Guánica y tomar las carreteras 333 y 334.
La falta de precipitación pluvial, altas temperaturas, suelos con poca acumulación de material orgánico y la ausencia de ríos permanentes hace de este ecosistema un lugar inhóspito. Por lo que la comunidad natural posee unas adaptaciones muy especiales para poder sobrevivir en condiciones tan adversas.
Esta Reserva tiene yacimientos arqueológicos y monumentos históricos. Se han encontrado petroglifos, algunos en muy buenas condiciones y fragmentos de cerámica entre otras cosas. También se encuentran estructuras de importancia histórica como el Fuerte Caprón y las Ruinas del Faro.

GUAN - Guanica Forest, NEON Terrestrial Field Site | Puerto Rico
Located along the southern coast of Puerto Rico, the Guanica Dry Forest reserve is the largest remaining tract of tropical dry coastal forest in the world. This fieldsite covers an area of 28 square kilometers and consists of mostly upland deciduous forest, semi-evergreen forest and scrub closer to the shore. A 72’ flux tower collects meteorological data. Soil sensors collect below ground measurements and NEON scientists conduct field observations of plants and animals.

Driving in Puerto Rico - Guánica
I've come to Guánica numerous times throughout my life and I seem to fall in love with the view from above the bay. Guánica is known for its dry forest, calm beaches, mangroves and boating so it is perfect for anyone who enjoys the outdoors. The weather is hot and less humid than the rest of the island. The southwestern side receives far less rain than in the northern side which is perfect to remove the top lid of my Jeep or opening up your sunroof. :-)
Please enjoy the ride!!!
Thank you,

Una de las mejores muestras de bosque seco subtropical que aun queda en el Planeta se encuentra en Guánica. En esta edición María Falcón nos explica cómo año tras año durante los meses más secos, cientos de cuerdas de terreno de alto valor ecológico son destruidas por decenas de fuegos que apagan la vida de este valioso sistema natural. Aprendamos a protegerlo.

Puerto Rico Trees
When Hurricane Maria roared through Puerto Rico last October, it did more than rip off roofs, destroy the power grid and kill people. It also tore up the forests that cover over half of the island. Many trees were stripped of foliage and branches; others simply blown out of the ground or snapped in half. Lush landscapes were instantly converted to expanses of naked trunks; normally cool, shady forest floors were baked by the sun. In days after, the chatter of frogs stilled, dead birds littered the ground, and bees buzzed around crazily, looking in vain for flowers.
