Casa Pueblo, Adjuntas /Frazier Nivens
Adjuntas June-2008, By:Travel and Sports Staff
Adjuntas
A natural hub.
The name Adjuntas comes from the term tierras adjuntas, or adjacent lands. It was founded during the second decade of the 19th century at the time of the historic Cédula de Gracia promulgation. It is known as "La Ciudad del Gigante Dormido" after the figure of a sleeping giant that may be seen in the mountains.
In some ways, Adjuntas is both a geographical hub and a hub of nature. It is now easy to reach from both the north (Arecibo) and south (Ponce) due to the completion of most of the new Rt 10. This makes it, along with Utuado, one of the easiest central mountain towns to reach.
At the Casa Pueblo you can get permits to the Bosque del Pueblo. While you are at the Casa Pueblo, check out the Mariposario (a butterfly garden). You might also stop by the Museo de Cultura y Turismo and then go off to view one of the local waterfalls, overlooks, petroglyphs or forests (Guilarte Forest). There is lots to do.
>How to go:
From the north take Rt 10 south. From Ponce take Rt 10 north.
