Culebra National Wildlife Refuge: Puerto Rico's Coastal Haven for Endangered Species
Over 20% of Culebra is protected within the remarkable Culebra National Wildlife Refuge, established by federal law more than a century ago. This vast area spans the coastline, including more than 20 pristine cays, and supports three distinct ecosystems. It provides essential habitat for endangered sea turtles and hosts the Caribbean's largest seabird nesting grounds. Nature lovers can enjoy hiking trails, prime birdwatching spots, and secluded beaches. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service office offers maps and valuable visitor information.
