East coast · Puerto Rico
Luquillo
A beach town most visitors drive straight past on their way to the rainforest. That is the mistake: the kiosks alone are worth the stop, and almost nobody has explained them properly.
Plan a Luquillo day
The kiosk project
Every kiosk on the strip, numbered
Sixty to eighty food stands on PR-3. We're numbering and photographing all of them, kiosk by kiosk.
El Yunque
Do you need a reservation for El Yunque?
The rainforest is ten minutes away. No for the road, yes for the visitor center, and the rideshare catch.
Fajardo
Which Fajardo catamaran should you book?
The marinas are the next town east. Icacos or Culebra, compared on price, lunch and group size.
Why Luquillo
Luquillo sits on the northeast coast, about forty-five minutes from San Juan and at the doorstep of El Yunque, the only tropical rainforest in the United States National Forest system. Most itineraries treat it as a fuel stop. It deserves better: a long beach, the kiosk strip on PR-3, and the easiest lunch after a morning in the forest.
Coming after our walk: which kiosk to eat at, kiosk hours, and a Luquillo day plan. We will only publish those once we have walked the strip ourselves.
