This tiny Puerto Rican island has got a fascinating past. When you stay in a Puerto Ferro vacation rental, a good starting point is the Fortin Conde de Mirasol, the very last fort that the Spanish built in the Americas. It's worth going into the attached museum, which depicts the fort's interesting history. To get to grips with Puerto Rico's natural history, you can drop into The Vieques Conservation & Historical Trust, which features an excellent collection of exhibits. Close off the day by gorging on a seafood feast at one of the waterfront restaurants before heading back to your Puerto Ferro vacation rental.
You've got a world of watery fun just moments from your Puerto Ferro vacation rental. If you join one of the daily scuba diving charters, you'll likely have close encounters with everything from reef sharks to turtles. If that doesn't float your boat, try sea kayaking instead. Using paddle power you can glide down through the mangroves, spotting wildlife as you go. Alternatively, take to the trails and meander around the island by foot, or on horseback. When night closes in, you can dive into Mosquito Bay to swim with the millions of glowing blue microorganisms.
With the driest weather hitting the shores of Vieques Island during the winter months, it's no surprise that families jet off to stay in Puerto Ferro vacation rentals and escape the cold back home. If you're planning to visit over Christmas and New Year, be sure to book up early. When things start to warm up Stateside, the crowds thin on the island and if you visit between April and June, you'll still miss the rainy season and save some serious bucks on rentals. With fewer crowds, it won't be hard to find a secluded spot on the sandy beaches.
Don't be deceived by the island's size, it's home to the largest wildlife sanctuary in the Caribbean. If you can tear yourself away from your waterfront Puerto Ferro vacation rental, take some time to explore the coastal lagoons and mangrove forests in the Vieques National Wildlife Refuge. You'll be surprised at just how much wildlife you'll spot, including magnificent wild Paso Fino horses which gallop along the beaches. If you've got a wildlife bucket list, seeing nesting turtles or hatchlings hauling themselves into the sea will likely feature near the top. And if you come at the right time, it's one you can tick off.
