Self-guided route
Driving times are estimates from the original route guide, before stops or traffic. Check live directions and current opening hours before you go.
Dorado has excellent restaurants, nice beaches, and a lovely plaza. Further along the drive you can experience rocky beaches and limestone cliffs. Make sure your camera is ready as the scenery is begging to be photographed. Be sure to bring hiking shoes and use care when climbing the limestone cliffs. Some areas are not for beginners or the faint of heart!
Without traffic or stops, the drive is 90 minutes to 2 hours. But I would plan on 6 hours to a full day to get the most out of this trip. I do recommend stopping at Bocata for excellent Mojitos and BBQ!
Traffic can be very heavy on weekends & holidays. It is a popular destination for locals and visitors. The drive ends in Arecibo area where there are some wonderful restaurants to enjoy dinner. From here, you can take Highway 22 back towards San Juan or your home.
Open the map legend to explore the local stops. If a driving layer makes stops hard to select, temporarily deselect “Driving Map”.
