If you're hiking in Culebra

Although small geographically, Culebra is full of activities you can do during your visit. One of them is  hiking. These short hikes in Culebra will take you to quiet beaches where you can snorkel (Carlos Rosario Beach)  or surf (Brava Beach) or to the lighthouse in Culebrita. Here are some tips to make your hiking trip memorable  and especially, safe.

Dress for the trip 

  • Bring (or wear) your swimsuit. Chances are you’ll be hiking from or to the beach. 
  • Wear tennis shoes. While some of the trails can be done on flip flops, do you really want to have a hard time on a trail that would be a breeze if you just  wore tennis shoes?
  • Light long sleeved shirt. Since Culebra is an arid island, most of the brushes along the trails are prickly. Wear a shirt to protect your arms.

Personal Safety.

  • Never leave the trail. It’s there for a reason. It’s probably the best way to get to your destination.
  • Never hike alone. Always bring a buddy with you. He can help you out or call for help if something goes wrong.
  • Leave word with someone. Let a friend know that you’re going hiking just in case something happens along the  way. 

Attitude

The right attitude will get you as far as most of the things listed above. Remember to have fun, to be safe and enjoy every moment on your hike.
