Reserva Natural de Humacao

The reserve extends over 3,000 acres of land, incorporating mangroves, coral reefs, seagrass beds, and six different lagoons along the coastline.

The area transformed from sugar cane plantations to a protected wildlife refuge in 1986, with remaining structures including an old water pump system.

Local families maintain traditional practices within the reserve, such as crab catching and fishing in designated zones near the coastal areas.

Visitors can access the reserve through marked trails off Route 3, with free parking spaces and rental facilities for kayaks and bicycles.

The reserve contains World War II military structures, including observation bunkers and a former US Army lookout post at El Morrillo point.
