Boquerón State Forest, State forest in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico
The forest extends across 5,000 acres through Cabo Rojo, Lajas, and Mayagüez municipalities, featuring limestone cliffs and mangrove ecosystems.
The forest received its preservation status in 1918 under Puerto Rico governor Arthur Yager, with additional segments integrated in 1943 and 1980.
The forest grounds contain salt flats that represent one of the oldest industries in the Americas, dating back to 700 CE.
The forest office in Poblado de Boquerón coordinates group visits and provides information about activities like hiking, kayaking, and birdwatching.
The forest houses the largest population of yellow-shouldered blackbirds and contains all four mangrove species native to Puerto Rico.
