Arecibo Lighthouse

faro-de-areci­bo

Areci­bo is one of those towns that most tourists nev­er vis­it.  How­ev­er, Areci­bo has some of the most spec­tac­u­lar land­scapes in Puer­to Rico. So if you are into pho­tog­ra­phy, espe­cial­ly land­scape pho­tog­ra­phy, Areci­bo is sure to be a spe­cial treat.

Per­haps the most pop­u­lar stop in the town­ship of Areci­bo is the Areci­bo Light­house and His­tor­i­cal Park.  Light­hous­es are always pop­u­lar among pho­tog­ra­phers.  But in the case of the Areci­bo Light­house we’re talk­ing about a recent­ly recon­struct­ed struc­ture that was built by the Spaniards in 1898.

Next to the light­house there’s a his­tor­i­cal park where kids can learn about the taíno Indi­ans that pop­u­lat­ed the Island when Christo­pher Colum­bus arrived, the Span­ish cul­ture that took over after the 15th cen­tu­ry, the pirates that sailed the­ses waters dur­ing Span­ish times and the North Amer­i­can cul­ture that took over after the 19th century.
