Cerro de Punta

Today Alan wanted o climb Cerro Punto, 1338 meters. We drove to Jayuya but couldn’t find the hacienda with trail head access. They wouldn’t answer their pohone. We ended up driving up to the point. We stopped along the Routa Panoramica to take a picture of the palm tree forest. It was weird to see the mountainside totally covered by palm trees. We could also see the Carribean Sea. We drove one peak too far. When we arrived at the top we asked the radio tower workers. Alan then had to back down the steep one lave road. We could have driven all the way to the top but we parked and hiked up about 500’ to the top. The view wasn’t real spectacular. There were many radio towers and the sound of a motor in the background. It was also quite cloudy. Eventually, Marion and Brandon got to the top. We hiked back down and continued along scenic route 143 west and got off on 10 in Adjuntos. It was a nice interstate-like road for a few miles then abruptly ended. The roads from Adjuntos to Parque Cavernous Rio Camuy were narrow and windy so we made slow time. We took 123 N, then 111 west, then 123 and 455. I navigated. Unfortunately we were too late to take the tour of Rio Camuy. We needed to have been there by 2:00 PM. It was about 3:00 PM. We then drove to Dos Charros so we’d almost made a huge loop for nothing.
