Cordillera Central
The lush, green peaks of Puerto Rico's central mountain range rising to the south.
Karst Formations
Unique dome-shaped limestone hills and deep sinkholes characteristic of the northern interior.
Bayamon Metro Area
The sprawling urban landscape and dense residential neighborhoods of the metro region.
Lake La Plata
A large, winding reservoir nestled between the emerald green hills of Toa Alta.
Choose the right side if you prefer lush mountain landscapes over ocean views. This side is particularly scenic during late afternoon flights when the setting sun casts long shadows over the limestone 'mogotes.' Keep an eye out for the Arecibo Ionospheric Observatory, though it may be distant depending on the specific flight path.
