Ahh, the famous, succulent roast suckling pig of Puerto Rico, also known as lechón. People have come from far and wide to sample this delicacy, and I know at least one person who broke their no-pork-eating vow to try it. It's that irresistible. In fact, it's such a beloved dish that there is one road in Guavate, Puerto Rico that is known as the Ruta del Lechón. To get here, take Highway 52 south to exit 33 (Guavate). Turn left and .

Mona Island
• Just 47 miles southwest of Puerto Rico's main island lies Mona Island. Seven miles long and four miles wide, this tiny island contains many unique, rare and endangered species of birds, reptiles and amphibians, as well as coral reefs, natural caves and archaeological relics. The uninhabited island has been compared to the Galapagos Islands and is now an official wildlife refuge, protected by the U.S. National Park Service and the Puerto Rico Department of Natural Resources.
