EST OF SAN JUAN, THE ISLAND'S
palm-studded north
shore is lined
with glorious beaches, the most beautiful of which are found around
Dorado. Scenic mountains that have been eroded into a dramatic karst
landscape of rugged gorges, spectacular caves, and sculpted rock formations
called
mogotes
rise inland from the narrow coastal plain. This rugged scenery
is at its finest around the Arecibo Observatory - the world's largest radio
telescope - and nearby Parque de las Cavernas del Río Camuy. Several
forest preserves tempt hikers, and one of the nation's most impressive
ceremonial sites can be explored at Caguana. The mountain drive to reach
it leads through several villages renowned for arts and crafts.
