Guayama, A Rare Gem That Could Shine So Much Brighter!

After visiting 23 towns in Puerto Rico, producing 23 videos, writing 23 extensive blog posts and and updating two of my Puerto Rico travel books in 2023, we thought a month’s-worth of rest and relaxation were well deserved. Besides, Christmas events on the Island fall on the “news” side of things and they’re short lived after the period is over.
Last January 22 we picked things up again and visited the town of Guayama, on the southeastern coast of Puerto Rico. Guayama is a beautiful town, with breathtaking architecture, that was once an agricultural powerhouse.
Of course, we were there for other attractions, like the Saint Anthony of Padua Parish (Parroquia San Antonio de Padua), one of the nicest and unique in Puerto Rico, Christopher Columbus Square (Plaza de Recreo Cristóbal Colón) with its magnificent Trees and regal design, the Casa Cautiño Museum, one of the few in Puerto Rico were every single item is an original, and many other along the way.
And our experience? Well, let’s just say that it was a mixed bag. Some things exceeded our expectations, others underwhelmed us and still others were good, but could be so much better.

Guayama was a great city in the 50 and 60 the plaza is one of the most beautiful in the island. The church altar was a magnificent piece of religious art, but was dismantled and moved to no body knows where. Please share the history if you know it. The west side of the calle calimano was dressed with colorful cortina’s to protect from the afternoon sun and the comercial stores displayed a neon lights visible to visitors. It resembles an European city at the time. It was a very beautiful place to visit.

Guayama seems like it was once a great town. Sadly, we can only report what we learn on the day of our visit and from the information that we gather prior to our visit. After all, that’s what any regular tourist would do. If our videos are sometimes lacking it’s because the towns aren’t tourist friendly. They love the American dollar but they do very little to make their visit both educational and welcoming.

Pozuelo beach was my paternal parents finca until the land was appropriated by the government to develop Phillips Petroleum in the 1960s. And yes, I was not aloud in that portion of the beach but towards the eastern part thete was a nice reef with a pool like natural beach in front of my cousins land!

It’s very regal and pretty. Some times I ask myself if Puerto Ricans realize all the great attractions that the Island has.

@guayames 5 ай бұрын

Agree 100%, my fellow guayameses do not know what a touristic treasure they have. After visiting more than 160 countries I can say few places can compare in history, beauty and architectural beauty. It’s Spanish, French, agricultural, slavery, and witchcraft and sport history is unequal.Unfortunately even most Puerto Ricans do not know Guayama, just ask!

Maybe they’ll wake up. That’s why I produce these videos.
