Stops to make during the Labor Day weekend
There are at least 10 large flower clocks in the world, and one of them is in the mountains of Aibonito.
Eduardo y Jeanny Ibarra, the couple behind El Jardín de Jeanny, drew inspiration from a flower clock on the Canadian side of Niagara to create what is known as the Reloj de Puerto Rico. Unlike other flower clocks, this one has a second hand, an 18-degree tilt pointing toward Brazil and New York, and it plays melodies such as "La Borinqueña" and "México lindo y querido."
This site has rock formations more than 11 million years old and is a place of significant ecological value.
You can walk a circuit of about an hour and a half around the lagoon and come across the ruins of Hacienda La Romana, the Cueva del Pirata Cofresí, and the Laguna Guaniquilla overlook.
Finca Pastoreo has the first and only grass maze in Puerto Rico. You can enjoy it with the whole family while solving a big mystery. It's a good option for family fun.
You can also explore this space dedicated to grazing and agroecology, and don't miss the pizza made in a wood-fired oven and the high-quality ice cream.
Divinissimo Gelato, in Guaynabo, stands out for its wine-based gelato. It's a good excuse to try something refreshing and sweet. And if you don't drink alcohol, there are gelato options for you too.
Follow our food route on the Tren Urbano
Tren Urbano stations offer a chance to enjoy a good meal. Now that the train is free while improvement work continues, it's a good time to go with your group and try different options.
Follow the trail of the old train route
Speaking of trains, take a trip into the past and visit the places that hold the history of Puerto Rico's old railroad, such as the Trencito de Levittown, the Túnel Guajataca, and the Puente El Canal San Antonio.
Enjoy the long weekend
