Culebra, Puerto Rico, also known as La Isla Chiquita (The Little Island), is located 17 miles east of the Puerto Rican mainland and is home to fewer than 2000 residents. Formerly part of the Spanish Virgin Islands, it’s home to a variety of wildlife including deer, sea turtles, coral, and of course its namesake, snakes.
Exploring this island has been on our bucket list since we visited its neighbor, Vieques to see the incredible bioluminescent bay there. In this two-part series, we explore the best of Culebra in 24 hours.

@vamanos9522منذ 4 سنواتYou guys have what it takes to become YouTube famous. We watch a lot of travel blogs and Spanish language learning. Your podcasts are a little hard for id="hidden4" class="buttons"> us but we are using them to learn. If you blend more Spanish into you English blogs, like half, I think you would hit a niche of Spanish learners. When you do it we love it. ....وسعت2

@
@sandrosilva3722منذ 3 سنواتThe reason for red street lights is to protect the sea turtle hatchlings. When the turtles hatch they confuse the white lights for the moonlight and end id="hidden19" class="buttons"> up being crushed by cars. In the past few years in many coastal towns around Puerto Rico, they have changed to those red lights. ....وسعت

@
@arielrios8589منذ 2 سنواتRed lights are for the baby turtles. They will mistake the street lights for the moon and not go into the sea. Not sure if anyone already answered this but we have plenty of those lights on the West Coast of PR.

@hannahpumpkins4359منذ 3 سنواتThe sharks won't bother you (unless they're bull sharks - but they're usually found only in brackish, murky water; the kind you wouldn't id="hidden22" class="buttons"> want to swim in anyway). Remember, sharks like to eat sushi just like we do! They don't eat people for much the same reasons people don't eat other people - because we taste horrible from all the iron in our blood, and the garbage we eat for our diet, and the medicines we take, etc - they make our flesh taste terrible. Remember: Fish generally taste like what they normally eat - so, fish that have a diet mainly of shrimp will sort of taste like shrimp. Now you know the secret to ordering a fish for dinner! ....وسعت
