BAHIA DE JOBOS

The Jobos Bay Reserve is the second largest estuary in Puerto Rico, located in the southeastern municipality of Aguirre, once a town entirely devoted to the sugar industry. Remnants of that glorious era are still visible, but the days when Aguirre produced nearly 13,000 tons of sugarcane per day are long gone. The place is ideal for observing the mangrove vegetation. The visitor center offers an interactive exhibition on the reserve's ecosystem, history, geography, flora, fauna, and hydrology.
