Founded in 1803, Barranquitas is a mountainside escape from city life.

The windy, narrow roads of la Ruta Panorámica lead the way to Barranquitas, a town set high in the Cordillera Central mountain range. From flowers and fruit trees to shrubs and ferns, the area offers a bounty of natural beauty. Barranquitas borders Naranjito and Corozal to the north, Coamo and Aibonito to the south, Orocovis to the west, and Comerío and Cidra to the east. Only an hour and a half from San Juan.
