Getting There & Away
Público vans leave the town's plaza on the Maricao-Mayagüez run and charge $4. As is
usually the case, the vans leave when they are full or on the driver's whim. You can ap-
proach Maricao from the east or west on the Ruta Panorámica. You can also connect to
points north and south via Hwys 119 and 120, which involve a spectacular climb into the
mountains on twisting roads.
