Go back to Puerto Rico.
On our first full day in Puerto Rico, we drove 90 minutes from our hotel in a village called Guanica on the southern shore of the island to Cerro Las Tetas outside of a town called Cayey. Though the basalt formations look vegetated from the road, the routes themselves are well cleaned and nicely maintained. In fact, the whole area seems lovingly cared for by presumably the local climbing community. That day, we climbed a four-pitch route called Mi Burro Pepe (5.10b) – nicely bolted and with a hard start to its pitch three. Afternoon was rounded out by some beach time.

Back for more Cerro the next day. This time the epic search for coffee ate up some of our morning and our late arrival at the trailhead coincided with the onset of a rainstorm. Instead of climbing, we drove to the charming colonial town called El German for some sightseeing and a lunch.
