Luquillo, Municipal division in northeastern Puerto Rico, United States
Located between El Yunque National Forest and the Atlantic Ocean, Luquillo extends across six distinct barrios covering both mountainous terrain and coastal areas.
The Spanish colonial administration formally established Luquillo as a settlement in 1797, naming it after the indigenous cacique who led the final native rebellion in 1513.
The municipality celebrates multiple annual festivals, including the Festival del Coco in September and Fiestas Patronales de San Jose in March with local food and processions.
The town connects to neighboring areas through PR-3 highway and several municipal roads, with beaches offering facilities such as cafeterias, showers, and parking spaces.
The area contains the sole tropical rainforest within the United States National Forest System, housing 240 tree species across 28,000 acres of protected land.
