Isla de Cabras Puerto Rico 🏝 Fun Family Day at a Historic Beach Spot

Hi everyone. Today we're visiting a really interesting place called Isla De Cabras. It's actually pretty close to San Juan. [Music] This island has a lot of history. It was used by the Spanish um to help defend the mouth of the Biomone River because they could actually like shoot boats coming in from both Elmo and from this island. Also, this used to be a leopard colony in the 1880s all the way until the 1920s. And this building that we're in right now was where the lepers lived. It's actually a really beautiful building. Um and it looks really popular for photo shoots. There's actually like three different photo shoots going on right now here. And it's just really interesting to me because one of the first census censuses done by the United States when the United States took the the island in 1898, one of their first censuses found that there were 35 people living on this island in 1910. So imagine 35 people basically living in this building. It's pretty interesting. [Music] You can see on the weekend there's a lot of jet skis here. So, it wouldn't be a good idea for me to snorkel out there. This is actually really good habitat for turtles with all the grass. So, it' be pretty fun to snorkel out there, see the boat, and also like maybe see some turtles, too. [Music] And there are beautiful views here. It's totally worth a visit. Um, there's plenty of parking and there's actually beautiful places to swim with your kids, too. Puerto Rico is a vibrant island full of amazing food, breathtaking places, and lovely people.
