Love it that your two channels are friendly....makes the experience of those of us who enjoy you both so much better.

Great video.I'm an American who's been living in Puerto Rico 24 yrs..in San Juan.I love seeing your videos ,especially the ones from here.It's good to see you trying new foods,like yucca and other delicacies from here.On that note,in my opinion you guys being vegans might want to expand on that theme.From my experience many veganos here in PR go the route of viandas(root vegetables)prepared in many different ways.Viandos are cheap,plentiful and have a good shelf life.Try some of the majados that are prepared in some of the resteraunts like majado de yautia,batata,boniato,yucca,there are many varieties and really delicious.I think we can all agree you need more than 24 hrs to really see Culebra,so I'm gone be waiting for your next video.

Awesome video,I went there back in the 90s when I was only 14 I lived in Puerto Rico 18 years born and raised there,. now i live in Florida, my wife and I booked flights,hotels and rentals for 4 days, 14 days to go😬🤪😝🤿

The first time I visited Culebra was in 1978. The beach area was more pristine, no construction of any sort except the residence of the Marquez family and a wood chapel where the parking is now, built by the community during the last days of the US Navy's target practice bombing. From Playa Flamenco all the way to Punta Molinos there was very little vegetation and you could see many more tanks not visible today (approximate 15 to 20) because of the overgrowth of the thorny "Palo de Rayo" bushes. The mayor of Culebra at the time was Claro C. Feliciano and if I am not wrong he was an educator and wrote a book about the history of the island.

That place looked amazing, and the sweetest couple.

Glad you are living in PR and visiting awesome places. I personally like Vieques much more than Culebra, Vieques has 10 times more beaches as pretty, fortress, museums, nature spots, ruins, etc. And also in Vieques you wouldn't have had any problems finding food at all times, and much better. But, in Vieques you definitively need a car, it is a must. I am shocked that you hadn't tried Yuca(cassava). It is very versatile, you can do tostones, palitos(like french fires), mashed, dough for pasteles, etc... I am sure you tried it but weren't aware of it.

On summer it’s crazy!!

Where are you guys! Post more videos please! Thank you!

Isn't it silly that they make you wash your hands before walking on to a beach? What does that accomplish? Also decades ago I stopped drinking anything hot out of styro-foam cups because the beverage leaches benzene put from the cup. The beaches sure are pretty but I'm not sure I'd want to make a trip to anywhere that had so few places to buy food. You'd think there would be an abundance of fresh ripe tropical fruit there at least.

I do hope to visit Puerto Rico oneday. Maybe.

It is an issue in Puerto Rico.

Hopefully things change for the better as education continues to spread. It’s videos like these that can help bring attention to those who really didn’t think it was an issue.

Never seen a lifeguard at Flamenco...ever. Are the local, colorful, lively kiosks playing salsa and Reggaeton all gone? Kind of breaks my heart.

It was just over 24 hours. I'm not sure how it could have been much cheaper. These are fairly standard prices in PR. Also, when translating things, it's a better practice to not do it literally.
