Pterocarpus Forest — Attraction in Humacao

I had such a great time here! Don't come looking for extreme action. There no waterfall or anything like that, and I still loved it! It's like an extended nature walk. There's a wooden structure. When you go to the top there's binoculars which I'm assuming are for bird watching. There's a trail to walk. It says there's a app you can download to listen to the tour as you walk. I have an android and it didn't work. Hopefully it'll be fixed when you go or you have another phone. I still enjoyed it nonetheless. Along the way there are plaques that give info on the flora and fauna of the place. It was very nice. Check beforehand but being that the route is on a wooden wide path I assume it would be wheelchair accessible. After that we got out and instead of going to back the parking we walked around the grounds and went in a full circle which took about an hour. If you're a walker, I high recommend this. Because we saw turtles. Just beware of the golf carts. Lastly. Getting there.... you have to enter Palmas del mar. I was surprised, but you just give the guard your name and you can go. The forest closes...

This forest walk is a gem in Palmas del Mar. Car parking is slightly hidden behind the big church and next to the property administration buildings, but the signs are easy to follow. The trail starts as a concrete path and continues into the forest swamp area on a raised boardwalk. The boardwalk is extensive, maybe 3/4 of a mile long, and has informative signs about the animals and ecosystem along the way. We went in the early afternoon and saw iguanas, lots of lizards, turtles, and several birds including a beautiful large white crane. Importantly there are no mosquitoes, which is a feature of this type of forest. The trail is totally shaded by the forest and has a few rest areas. This is a great short excursion out of the sun for a family and would be...

We went twice while we were staying at Club Cala. It's a free attraction. It's very educational a few of the informational plaques could use replacing but I mean it's a swamp area near the cost so I'm sure it has withstood a lot of weather before we visited. I few of the planks on the board walk could use replacing but over all its a very interesting and enchanting experience. Others have mentioned bugs however both time we went we didn't have any issue. The pterocarpus trees are magnificent, additionally the flora and fauna there are very active. Sometimes you need to stay still and quiet for the critters to start going about their business. If you're into conservation, interesting landscapes, plants, animals this is defintely a place I would...
