Boating in Culebra, PR

My Experience - Unforgettable return.
August 2012 / By Janitza Aponte López
It had been a long time since I returned to Culebra and this time I decided to surprise some friends and show them that paradise does exist. They had never visited the Island and their curiosity peaked with all my narratives. They wanted to go snorkeling and I knew that the most beautiful marine scenery could be found there. We travelled by air and the view was impressive; the North coast from the “Big Island” to Culebra is spectacular. The adventure started out very well.

Once we landed we looked for information. Much to our surprise, we ran into the best “tourist guide” we could find: Xiomara, the crafts woman from the town square. She was the light of our eyes those three days we were there. She recommended Melones Beach and Tamarindo Beach for snorkeling and she wasn’t lying. 

The next morning we couldn’t contain ourselves, we were anxious to discover everything the Island had to offer. We set up our equipment and started out in Tamarindo. We saw from sea turtles to a baby stingray, like you would experience on film. My guests were surprised and amazed by so much natural beauty. The afternoon snuck up on us in Melones and the sunset was the most beautiful I had ever seen with Cayo Luis Peña as its frame. It was as if time stood still and we were there for eternity. Definitely, that scenery would mark our lives and the insatiable desire to return and try to surpass what only Culebra could.
