Guajataca Tunnel, Railway tunnel in Isabela, Puerto Rico
The Guajataca Tunnel extends 514 feet through a mountain, connecting Playa Guajataca to Playa Mirador with a steel viaduct spanning across the Guajataca River canyon.
Built in 1904 by the American Railroad Company of Puerto Rico, this tunnel facilitated the transportation of sugarcane and passengers until operations ceased in 1953.
The tunnel represents the transformation of Puerto Rico's infrastructure during the early American period, marking significant changes in transportation and commerce across the island.
Visitors can access the tunnel daily, with weekend activities including miniature train rides, food vendors, local artisans, and pony rides starting at 9:00 AM.
Two separate tunnels connected by a 250-foot steel bridge positioned 131 feet above the river form this engineering structure from the early twentieth century.
