Barranquitas Attractions

Situated on a mountainside and surrounded by vegetation, Barranquitas is the most charming of the mountain towns in Puerto Rico. However, the town has been destroyed several times by fire and hurricanes so the buildings date only from the first decades of the 20th C. Barrangquitas was founded in 1804.

Many famous Puerto Ricans such as the island's first elected governor, Luis Muñoz Marín, were born in this town. The surrounding areas produce fruits and coffee.

The main plaza in Barranquitas is a nice place to sit and people watch. This is also the home of famous Puerto Rican, Luis Munoz Rivera.
