Pueblos in the Southwest
Lighthouse, pink salt flats, hidden beaches, and the towns Puerto Ricans have been vacationing in for generations.
Cabo Rojo anchors the southwest with Playa Sucia, the salt flats that turn pink, and the coastal pueblos of Boquerón and El Combate. It's the corner where Puerto Rico vacations — dry air, turquoise water, oysters from a street stand.
