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.

In this episode of Puerto Rico By GPS, we use Cabo Rojo as our basecamp for an eight-day exploration of southwestern Puerto Rico, including Guánica, Yauco, Lajas, San Germán, Hormigueros, Sábana Grande, and Mayagüez. Staying here let us explore more while driving less, giving us time to experience places most travelers rush past. Our home base is I Love Combate Rooms & Suites, a small, modern hotel just steps from Combate Beach, ideal for independent travelers who value comfort, simplicity, and efficient design. Cabo Rojo is far more than a beach town. Founded in 1771, it played a key role in Puerto Rico’s early history, independence movement, and salt industry. While most visitors only see Buyé, Boquerón, Combate, and Playa Sucia, few explore the town itself. In this video, we do—starting at San Miguel Arcángel Church, walking Betances Square, and sharing the story of Ramón Emeterio Betances. Each beach offers a different experience: Buyé’s beauty now shaped by development, Boquerón’s spacious balneario and dining, Combate’s calm, pool-like waters, and Playa Sucia’s stunning cliffs near Los Morrillos Lighthouse, Puente de Piedra, and the ancient Las Salinas. We also show restricted areas by drone, explain access issues, and share safety tips. As always, every stop includes GPS coordinates to help you explore Cabo Rojo beyond the postcards. ================= 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?
