How Puerto Rico’s Landscape Fits Together
The main island rises through the Cordillera Central, with greener northern terrain and a drier south. Beyond it, Vieques and Culebra make the archipelago more than one island.

Keep exploring Puerto Rico with our travel partners.
Compare the limestone hills and caves of the north with the southern coast and the mountains between them. El Yunque occupies the northeastern highlands, while Guánica shows a dry-forest landscape in the southwest. Those contrasts explain why a short distance on the map can feel like a different part of Puerto Rico.
What to look for
The Cordillera Central forms the main island’s mountain spine.
Northern limestone terrain holds many of the island’s caves and karst formations.
Vieques and Culebra sit apart from the main island and have distinct shorelines.
Useful to know
Choose a region for each outing; a mountain, cave and offshore island are not quick stops on the same circuit.
