Guajataca Tunnel is a railroad tunnel that connected the town of Isabela and Quebradillas, Puerto Rico. The tunnel is one of the most significant work of the remnants of the national railway system that connected the island during the first half of the twentieth century. In 2000, the Government of Puerto Rico declared it a historical monument. For this shot, I got up around 6:15 in the morning; grabbed my camera and headed down the beach. I was staying at Hotel El Guajataca in beautiful Quebradillas, Puerto Rico. I had a feeling the sunrise was going to be spectacular. The water from the Atlantic Ocean was turkish blue and there was a slight mist from the water hitting the rocks. Sunrise Northwest Coast of Puerto RicoIt is no secret that Puerto Rico is one of the most beautiful places on this Earth. The tropical weather makes it a perfect location for all year round vacation spot. Most of the beauty of Puerto Rico is located, in my humble opinion, in the central part of the island. We have beautiful mountains with cristal clear waterfalls. One really awesome view is the one you get to experiment in the mornings and has to do with the early fog. In this photo you can see, from a vantage point, early morning fog in the town of Cayey. It was taken from a helicopter trip all the way to San Juan. Enjoy!!! Early Morning FogNicknamed Las Tetas de Cayey, but officially Cerro Las Tetas, and also Las Piedras del Collado, are two mountain peaks located in the municipality of Salinas, Puerto Rico. Since September 1, 2000, the peaks have become part of a Puerto Rico Natural Reserve and are protected by law. Their height is 2,759 feet (840.94 meters) above sea level. The peaks are so named for their resemblance to a woman's breasts. The word "tetas" is colloquial for "breasts" in Spanish, much like the English word "tits". A common misconception is that Las Tetas are located in the municipality of Cayey. Las Tetas are actually located in the municipality of Salinas, in Barrio Palmas, a ward on the northwestern part of the municipality of Salinas. Despite all the facts, everybody calls them Las Tetas de Cayey. Las Tetas de CayeyThis next shot is in my hometown Santa Isabel. The ruin is what is left of Hacienda Magueyes and is located near a residential and commercial area. The ruin is protected by the government and can not be tampered with or restored without their direct supervision. To learn more please click here. Hacienda Magueyes Ruin |
