Where to Stay
To enjoy attractions in the island's central towns, what better than staying in the middle of town? If you're traveling in a group, San Sebastián Bed & Breakfast lets you book a room with two full beds and have breakfast before heading out for a day of adventure. The experience will be relaxed and centrally located (this bed & breakfast is 8 minutes from Gozalandia). The property also offers breakfast, Wi-Fi, a pool and other amenities.
Things to Do
Driving along the road between Lares and San Sebastián, you can see this waterfall on the north side. How much water flows depends on the time of year and weather conditions. You can use trails from the road to reach the area. Have your camera ready, because the spot is ideal for photos.
Here you'll find an agricultural museum, a lookout point, a park and an open-air restaurant. You can also visit the replica of the El Barandillo bridge and walk the hacienda's trails. The restaurant serves breakfast and a varied menu that includes pasta, meat cuts and appetizers. Reservations are recommended before visiting.
This artificial lake, built in 1929, sits across the municipalities of San Sebastián, Isabela and Quebradillas. It is from San Sebastián, though, that you can access the Refugio de Vida Silvestre and the Embalse Guajataca, among other spots near the lake. The water is calm, and many people come here to fish. Along the route you can find several lookout points and choose from nearby restaurants to eat and enjoy the view.
The name says it all: you're going to have a great time here. The spot has two impressive waterfalls that end in a large pool where you can dive in and cool off. There is private parking and easy access to the waterfalls via a staircase. You'll feel surrounded by nature and come away recharged.
After Gozalandia, take a walk through this plaza to learn the full history of the city of San Sebastián and its founders. It is filled with photos and detailed captions about important events and figures. You can park on nearby streets and enjoy the atmosphere and the food at some of the neighboring restaurants.
