    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.

  • @puertoricobygps
    @puertoricobygpsАй бұрын

    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.

    You know I have to say. You did such a great job with this informative video! I found this because I'm on a journey of honoring my father, may he rest in peace. I'm on a quest to reconnect with Puerto Rico. I've been practicing my Spanish and cooking. My cellphone provider messed up my phone number in transfer. But to make up for it, they gave me a new number with a 787 area code. Now, when I call people, it comes up as Naranjito Puerto Rico. Thank you for your video. I found it very well put together and illustrated. #wepa 🇵🇷 ❤

    Great video. I was at las Pailas a little over a year ago. I paid for parking but not for admission. Is this new or legal? It seems that the parking spots belong to private properties. Are they charging to use their paths?

  • @puertoricobygps
    @puertoricobygps2 ай бұрын

    Thank you for your kind words. The river belongs to the people of Puerto Rico, but the surrounding properties are private. Hence, the owners have the right to charge for going through their terrain. Furthermore, they provide concrete trails (most of the way), ropes and chains to assist you, plus they keep the place clean and safe. Personally, I feel like the dollar per person is reasonable. Be sure to read my disclaimer.

    That was an education for me. I did not know. You are so right! vehicular traffic is destroying our beautiful historic town.

Thank you for your great videos and insights.

    Thank you. San Juan is the oldest city under the U.S. flag and the third oldest in the New World. It was never meant for cars. Most similar cities in Europe have become walking cities. Maybe the problem is that our government officials vacation at Disney World. If they looked towards Europe they’d realize how they’re destroying our most beautiful tourist attraction.
