How To Get There
From San Juan, take road PR-52 towards Ponce. Pass the $0.75 Ponce toll, after which you will reach road #2.. Continue ahead on west direction on road #2 and continue directly towards Guánica. Take exit that reads PORTAL DEL SOL. You will find this exit after the town of Yauco (you can't miss it, it has a nice shopping center with a Big K-Mart). Once you pass this shopping center, continue driving (if you didn’t stop for a pit stop) and pay attention to the signs on your right, one of which will say WELCOME TO PORTA DEL SOL. Take this exit. The reserve is about 2 minutes after the exit, you can't miss the signs.
