Maricao’s State Forest
Off in the mountains, on the western end of the Ruta Panorámica (The Panoramic Route) is Maricao’s State Forest, where you can learn all about the island’s coffee plantation origins and the indigenous Taínos. Known as the Torre de Piedra (Stone Tower), the observation tower stands in the middle of the forest, providing far-flung panoramic views stretching in every direction. This place is ideal for self-guided tours, birdwatching, and waterfall finding.
