Sightseeing
Adjuntas is a small mountainside municipality in Puerto Rico located central midwest of the island. Adjuntas has several nicknames. One is "La ciudad del gigante dormido" ("The city of the sleeping giant"). This is a reference to one of the mountains of the city, which is compared to a "sleeping giant". Another nickname is "La Suiza de Puerto Rico" ("The Switzerland of Puerto Rico") which is a reference to Adjuntas' relatively low temperatures. Adjuntas has an average yearly weather of 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Finally, Adjuntas is also called "La tierra de lagos" ("The land of lakes") because of its many lakes. Its mild climate attracts a good number of island tourists during the summer months.

There is a Fishing Club, and you can coordinate with any members to have a ride in boat around, and visit El Puente Colgante (Hammock Bridge). Too many lakes near this area. I enjoy in family, if you have a boat or kayak, will have a great day.

Nice River for bathing.
Safety Note: These are slippery rocks, so you need to be careful when walking around on them. If you loose your footing, you can be seriously hurt. Also, never go in the rivers during a rain (flash floods happen a lot ) or even a day or two after a rain, since the current can be too strong to be safe. People have been hurt/killed while playing in the rivers, jumping from the rocks and climbing around the rivers. Respect nature and be safe. And don’t litter.

7 PR-123Casa Pueblo is a community self-sustained project with the commitment to appreciate and protect the natural resources, culture, and humans. It started in 1980 when the government of Puerto Rico planned to initiate the mining process in 17 sites of silver, gold, and copper.
