Beginning in January of 2023, my wife Zoraida and I started visiting a different town in Puerto Rico every two weeks. That means that it will take us over 3 years to visit all 78 municipalities (taking into account unforeseen events such as climate and health issues. We started in the town of Carolina, going clockwise around the municipality of San Juan. Why didn't we cover San Juan (you might ask)? Because that's where Puerto Rico By GPS started, so we thought we could give it a rest and return in a near future as needed. As of June of 2025 we have covered 40 municipalities and the adventure continues.

Get Our Exclusive Guide: “10 MISTAKES FIRST-TIME PUERTO RICO VISITORS MAKE” here: https://accrm.com/s/4849 If you’re planning to travel to Puerto Rico, a visit to the town of Manatí is a must! In this video my wife Zory and I explore Manatí end-to-end, including the beautiful “Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria y San Matías” Church, built in 1729, even before the town was founded, Luis Muñoz Rivera Square with its beautiful tile mural by Carolina artist Cecila Orta, the “Joaquín Rosa Gómez” Arts Center and so many other monuments that you’ll need to watch the video to discover. Then we hit the beaches. Yes “beaches” because Manatí has several and they’re all great. Finally, we do a flyover of the beautiful Tortuguero Lagoon, a caiman infested area that’s presently off limits to the public. ================ VIDEO CHAPTERS 00:00 - Introduction 00:20 - Where is Manatí, Puerto Rico 00:35 - About Manatí 01:30 - Nuestra Señora de la Candelaría y San Matías” Church 04:45 - Luis Muñoz Rivera Square 07:45 - Joaquín Rosa Gómez Art Center 08:19 - José De Diego School/Casa Del Rey Ruins 09:15 - City Hall 09:33 - Brunet-Calaf Residence Ruins 10:21 - Manatí Tourism Office 11:14 - History Plaza 11:46 - Old Manatí Municipal Cemetery 13:47 - Hacienda La Esperanza Sugar Cane Plantation 14:48 - La Esperanza Beach 16:15 - Mar Chiquita 16:35 - Los Tubos Beach 17:20 - Tortuguero Lagoon 18:43 - Closing And of course, as in all our videos, every attraction includes the GPS coordinates for your convenience. #manatipuertorico #puertorico #orlandomergal ================= RELATED CONTENT Why I Do What I Do? — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr0pHfFfMJM&t=66sæ La Vuelta Del Bobo”, A Traffic Jam That Puerto Ricans Actually Enjoy — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H434m-b9v7A&t=4s Does GPS Work In Puerto Rico?
