Our next destination is located in Puerto Rico, an island located more precisely very special about 32 kilometres to the east and 24 miles west of Saint Thomas.

This is Culebra, a charming place in town where there are numerous islets as Cayo Norte, Whale Cay, Geniquí Cays, Cayo Luis Pena, coral Culebrita, The Sisters, El Mono, Cayo Lobito, Alcarraza, Stevern Stone, The Twins and Cayo Botijuela.

The key is the largest of Culebrita, which is due to arrive by boat, and this is where the beaches are most wanted by travelers, fine sand and incredible visibility water.

One of the main attractions is the oldest lighthouse in the Caribbean, which after being abandoned by the Navy and Coast Guard, has suffered continuous vandalism and damage by natural phenomena.

It should know that in Culebra no rivers or streams fresh as this must be obtained through various means such as collecting rain or a pipeline that starts from Puerto Rico.

Culebra has one of the beaches considered the finest in the world. His most famous beach is Playa Flamenco and is among the first five (5) most beautiful beaches internationally recognised.
