Cabo Rojo is a western gem. This municipality is blessed with great weather friendly people and nice places to have fun. The most beautiful sunsets are at Los Murillos Lighthouse. Cabo Rojo is the perfect place for any kind of photography.

Puerto Rico's 78 cities are amazing; its other bigger islands and 199 inlets and attols can total more than 7,000 square miles; the big island alone has 1225 beaches, and 1,600 square miles of rivers and lakes, and another 3,435 square miles of land. It's a true paradise, filled with many natural resources.

Please do a video of the quaint town of Peñuelas. There is so much history and it is too often passed by from content creators. Peñuelas is a very unique hidden gem with so much history of artists, poets, writers, sports figures etc. Also its known as the Capital del Guiro and it also is a hub for the manufacturing of the Cuatro instrument which is a major component of our Musica Tipica de los Puertoriqueños. So i how and pray you can one day soon make this video. It would be massively appreciated.

A lighthouse cafe/museum with outdoor seating would attract alot more visitors.

[@BriksTravelGuides]

Great idea! Though not sure how feasible it would be since the lighthouse is a historic structure and there are issues with which organization is managing it. That’s why sometimes it isn’t open to visit inside. Regardless, it’s a beautiful place to see, even if only from the outside! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷

Cabo Rojo is one of our favorite areas to visit in Puerto Rico since we like to go where the locals go it's definitely worth the drive from San Juan. The calm and crystal blue waters at Playa Combate makes it a must for every trip to this magnificent island. I can't wait to buy a house here. xoxo

Brick, I’ll be in Puerto Rico in August with my wife son & his girlfriend. We’re planning on staying in Cabo Rojo for four nights and three nights in Old San Juan. I have family in Anasco, but we wanted to experience the southern part of Puerto Rico. How far is La Parguera from Cano Rojo? We also wanted to check out the Bioluminescent Bay.

[@BriksTravelGuides]

Hey Steve!! That’s awesome! Cabo Rojo is very big, so depending of where you’re starting out from it can take from 30 - 40 minutes, which is not so bad, and the road is pretty straightforward. I’ve never been to the bio bay in La Parguera but I hear it’s better than the one in Fajardo. Remember to go when there’s no moonlight for a better experience! Hope that helps! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷
