Southern Central Coastal Roadtrip – Caguas to Ponce

What to see: 

This drive commences in Caguas on Highway 52 (just south of San Juan in the middle of the island).  This drive gives you a taste of the mountains that run through the center of the island.  Once you reach the coast, you will head west to Ponce.  Ponce, the second most populous city in Puerto Rico, is rich with Spanish architecture and history.  Check out the stops on the map, and spend some time walking around the Plaza.

Time: 

The drive itself is about 90 minutes, but I recommend planning on a full day for this trip.  You could get started with Breakfast or Brunch at Siempre Verde and finish your day with a decadent meal in Ponce. 

Notes: 

Traffic can be heavy near the tourist attractions on the weekends and holidays, and parking may be more difficult. This tour ends in Ponce.  You can follow the map back to Highway 52 to reach San Juan or your home.
