Aibonito
The Garden of Puerto Rico.
Aibonito is called "the Switzerland of Puerto Rico" and "the Garden of Puerto Rico." Both names refer to its yearlong refreshing climate. At 2,401 feet above sea level, Aibonito is also the highest town of the Island.
Well known for its poultry and flower industries, it has among other attractions the Mirador Piedra Degetau. From this observation tower you can have a breathtaking view not only of Aibonito and the surrounding towns but even of the San Juan Bay Area on a clear day.
The best time to visit is during the annual Festival de las Flores (Flower Festival).
>How to go: From Cayey take Rt 1 and turn right onto Rt 162. At Rt 7717 turn left to the Mirador Piedra Degetau. To get to the center of town, backtrack to Rt 162 and follow it into town.
