Summary

Get off the beach and enjoy Puerto Rico's other lesser-known gems. Mountain towns, hot springs, centuries-old forts, caves, and more await visitors looking for hidden places. Visit San German, a town founded in 1573, or see limestone, haystack-shaped hills and other unique geographic formations in Karst Country--a maze of hills and thick forests.

Excerpts

"Banos de Coamo, the hot springs famous in Puerto Rico's history, date from when the Tainos lived here and have been valued for their healing powers. Legend has it that this was the fountain of youth Juan Ponce de Leon was searching for. The fashionable resort that thrived here in the early decades of the twentieth century drew the like of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Alexander Graham Bell, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Thomas Edison.
