About Juana Díaz |
About the City of Juana Díaz
 Dubbed
as the "Bethlehem of Puerto Rico", Juana Díaz is a town strong in tradition and
folklore. Also known as the "City of the Poets", Juana Díaz is a blooming city
rich with nice people and quiet environments. Its most interesting aspect is its
traditional celebration of the Three Kings Day, which celebrates the kings that
came from the east to pay their respects to the Baby Jesus. The holiday is
celebrated each January 6th and marks the most important event in the city.
Getting There
Getting to Juana Diaz is easy. Just take road PR-52 south towards Ponce. You
will find the last toll booth on PR-52 right on the entrance of the city;
however, do not take the toll. Instead, take the first exit BEFORE the main
toll. You will have to pay a $0.35 toll to the entrance. Once you pass the city
toll, you will arrive at the intersection of road 149, with the Juana Diaz
Shopping Center right in front of you. To get to the Juana Díaz Town Square,
take a left on the traffic stop after the toll, then pass 2 more traffic lights.
You will find a McDonald's restaurant to your right, make a right turn here and
continue a few meters ahead. You will find the Square directly in front of you.
Exploring the Area / What to Expect
Juana Diaz does not offer that great deal of sights and attractions as of yet;
however, you might find it interesting as a stop if you are heading south to
Ponce. Important places to see is the Three King's Monument (its right after you
take the toll, you can't miss it), and other activities include enjoying ice
cream from the Chinese ice cream store located right on the town square. Some of
the more explorer type visitors might find the
Lucero
Cave an interesting visit. The best time to visit the town is during
christmas (it ends here Jan 6) so you can enjoy the decorated Town Square and
the famous
Nativity Scene.
