The Ultimate JAYUYA Travel Guide | Piedra Escrita, Museo del Cemí, Indigenous Festival and MUCH MORE

[@masato8503]

My dad is Puerto Rican and never shared anything like this with me! I am so fascinated with this all

[@BriksTravelGuides]

Hey!! Glad you were able to learn about it! Jayuya is a somewhat remote part of Puerto Rico because of it’s location in the mountains, so even people who have lived all their lives in PR might have not visited the municipality. Apart from that, the historical background I shared is controversial. Some might agree with the actions taken by the nationalist, some might not. So, that part of our history hasn’t been shared as much as it should. Glad I was able to help you learn something new! And hopefully you get to see it for yourself soon! 😄🙏🏼🇵🇷

Siempre me da mucha alegría cuando alguien del municipio me deja comentarios así porque significa que hice un buen trabajo. Mil gracias por tu comentario, apoyar mi canal y ver mis videos. Jayuya definitivamente es un municipio extra especial que mas personas deberían visitar para aprender de su historia y cultura 🙏🏼😄🇵🇷

Wow, excelente vídeo. Que bello mi PR, no sabía de éstos lugares, estaré de vacaciones en PR con mi pareja que es un gringo caucacico y él está ansioso de conocer a PR. 🇵🇷 Gracias!

[@BriksTravelGuides]

Hola! Que bueno que te gusto el video! Si!! No mucha gente que visita Puerto Rico conocen de los encantos de Jayuya, y por eso hice este video. Espero que la pasen super bien en la isla! Gracias por dejar un comentario! 😄🙏🏼🇵🇷

[@josemramosgerena8237]

Exelente trabajo.

[@BriksTravelGuides]

Mil gracias!! 😄🙏🏼🙌🏼🇵🇷

[@wealthintruth6227]

Thanks so much for your research work. Will definitely spend several days in the area on the next visit !

[@BriksTravelGuides]

Thank you for your support and for leaving a comment! This was definitely one of the videos that took me quite a lot of time to make because of that research. But I think it was worth it! Hope you enjoy your time in Jayuya! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷

[@Ecuacolom]

Hermoso pueblo

[@BriksTravelGuides]

Mil gracias, Carlos! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷

[@nancyrichwine929]

Excellent tour! Great detail and very informative. Super photos & Drone views a big plus.

[@BriksTravelGuides]

Thank you so much!! The drone has been one of the best investments I’ve made to improve the quality of my videos, so I’m glad you appreciate the drone shots! Thank you for commenting and the support! 😄🙏🏼🇵🇷

[@Ecuacolom]

La naturaleza de esta region de la isla se parece como la region cafetera de Colombia

[@BriksTravelGuides]

Tuve el privilegio de visitar Medellin recientemente y lo amé. Las montañas definitivamente influyen en la comparativa. Jayuya es definitivamente hermoso! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷

[@jennifertrautmann9789]

This is very thorough. Thank you! And you are 💯 right on taking the longer southern route from San Jaun. We learned the hard way😅.

[@BriksTravelGuides]

Haha I went two times to film the video. The first time we took the northern route and I got motion sickness by the time I got to Jayuya. I was worries I wasn’t gonna be able to record the video 😂😅 The southern route is WAY better. Thank you for your comment and for the support! Glad you were able to visit such an amazing place like Jayuya! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷

[@enidpagan3139]

Dedeo ir a una excursión a Jayuya!

[@BriksTravelGuides]

Te lo recomiendo 100%!! De todos los lugares que he visitado, creo que es uno de los mas especiales para mi. Si vas durante el Festival Indígena, mejor todavía! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷

[@franklopez2969]

Good information about the twisty roads, my wife and daughter hate twisty roads! Are the roads jammed with cars on the weekends?

[@robertoperez2579]

No, the roads are pretty clear most of the time. A pothole will get you before traffic does😅

[@BriksTravelGuides]

Hey Frank! Glad you found it helpful! The southern route has way less twisty roads, so consider that when visiting Jayuya. Glad you’re considering visiting Jayuya! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷

[@robertoperez2579]

@@BriksTravelGuides hey Brik. I have tried to post a comment about the written rocks a couple times but it never shows up...

[@BriksTravelGuides]

That is weird. Some comments get held up for review by the YT app, but I don’t see any of yours there. Not sure why you’re having issues commenting. 😅 I see this comment though haha

[@robertoperez2579]

[@xavieraduran]

Hi Brik! Another awesome video. We fell in love with the PR after our first visit. We have recently decided to check out Jayua. We are considering going next February or March. What is the weather like around those months?

[@BriksTravelGuides]

Hey Xavier! That’s awesome! Jayuya is truly amazing! The weather is pretty great. If you’re used to winter weather, it’s gonna just be refreshing, but for Puerto Ricans February, especially in the mountains, has some of the coldest weather during the whole year. Thank you for the support! 😄🙏🏼🇵🇷

[@tiffanyi5645]

Im visiting again in August and would like to know where I can buy locally made goods to bring back. We were in Viejo San Juan 2 weeks ago and all the shops had things that were made in China. I want to support locally made goods only.

[@BriksTravelGuides]

Hey Tiffany! Great that you’re coming back and wanting to support local businesses. If you’re in Viejo San Juan, visit Mundo Taíno. They have two stores there where they sell 100% local merchandise. Fun fact: I sell my postcards there. They’re called Iguana Diaries. They’re usually near the cash register in one of their locations (not the one that’s on the corner of a building). Hope that helps! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷

[@tiffanyi5645]

Thank you so much! I will absolutely stop by and will definitely check out your Iguana Diaries postcards! 🙏🏽🇵🇷❤️

Just to clarify, Festival Indigena is held in the month of November, not October.

[@BriksTravelGuides]

Oh wow! Thank you for pointing that out. Didn’t realize I made that mistake until now. Thank you! 🙏🏼🇵🇷
