You thing well I don’t think I’ve ever been to a beach that’s pretty I’m impressed why is it one of your favorite spots in Puerto Rico I think the sea the sea is one of my favorite places on Earth because it it’s what connects us

To the island and as foran is one of the things that makes us more proud so usually on the beach places we have like places we call chinchas where we get something to eat like locally it’s mainly like fries kind of stuff and with a Paca there’s no better thing actually

Splendor from above so we do swim when it’s more calm but you see people just come here for the view they just come and sit and relax and come in families and have a beautiful day just being here as we head south penis hints at a mysterious Canyon tucked away in Puerto Rico’s

Central mountains she tells me it was largely unknown a secret treasure veiled by dense brush accessible only by Hike what’s the deal with the canyon you can see no it’s really it feels like something from out of this world okay it’s yeah that Space oh my God I know right this is insane I know right I love that you can be spping a pñ in the beach and then you’re in the middle of the mountains with this VI unbeatable what’s this place called it’s Canon Blanco and it’s because of the color of the Rocks
