Travel Along With Laura
Puerto Rico 2: Day Trips from San Juan: Rainforests and the Pork Highway
Join Laura on a flavorful journey through the lush landscapes of Puerto Rico! We’ll explore the famed "ruta de lechon," where succulent pork is roasted to perfection at lechoneras dotting the mountain roads.
Our adventure takes us through the Carite rainforest where you can hike to breathtaking swimming holes and sip holy spring water at a catholic pilgrimage site. Listen in as our guide, Adrian, shares insights about the island’s history, from the original Taino inhabitants to the vibrant culinary scene that flourishes today. We’ll uncover the significance of plantains, the rhythms of salsa music, and the remarkable wildlife of the rainforest, including the iconic coquí frog.
With a mix of adventure, culture, and culinary delights, this episode is not to be missed!
