Culebra and Vieques
Dubbed 'the enchanted isles', Vieques and her smaller sister
Culebra are located off Puerto Rico's east coast, accessible from
San Juan by air and from Fajardo by ferry. Both support a few
thousand friendly, laid-back inhabitants who live life peacefully
and slowly, enriching rather than impacting on the natural beauty
of their environment. Vieques is 20-odd miles long and five miles
wide, and consists largely of the biggest wildlife sanctuary in the
Caribbean, protected by the United States Fish & Wildlife
Service. Some of the world's most beautiful beaches, with azure
clear waters and sugary white sand, are to be found in the
sanctuary. If you plan to visit Vieques, stay overnight to
experience its premier attraction, Bio Bay. On a moonless night the
bay glows with the bioluminescence radiated by microscopic
one-celled organisms called dinoflagellates, providing an
unforgettable sight. Smaller Culebra, just seven miles long and
three miles wide, is a few miles north of Vieques and is renowned
for the clarity of the waters washing its shores. This is caused by
the fact that the island has no rivers or streams causing run-off:
the arid island has to have water piped from Puerto Rico via
Vieques. This quiet, unspoiled island offers unrivalled snorkelling
and scuba diving in its magnificent encircling reefs, as well as
kayak expeditions and hiking trails for bird-watchers through the
Culebra National Wildlife Refuge.
