Cabo Rojo Lighthouse Hike: Limestone Cliffs and Jaw-Dropping Views
Channel: Messy Suitcase!
Date: 2022-01-30

A hike in the park around the Cabo Rojo Lighthouse (Los Morrillos) served us up spectacular vistas, with stomach-dropping white and red cliffs, fascinating rock formations, crystal-clear Caribbean Sea and even cacti!

We found the loop trail, part of the Cabo Rojo National Wildlife Refuge, on the All Trails app at https://www.alltrails.com/trail/puerto-rico/west-region/cabo-rojo-lighthouse-trail. It took us around the rocky coastline of this peninsula, then past the salt flats, before dumping us out on Playa Sucia, or La Playela, a gorgeous beach.

It’s located on the southeastern point of Cabo Rojo, on the Morrillos Peninsula, in the southwest corner of Puerto Rico. Learn all about this destination at the Discover Puerto Rico website, https://www.discoverpuertorico.com/profile/faro-los-morrillos-de-cabo-rojo/8058.

Make sure you come between 9 AM and 5 PM, because the park rangers lock the gate!

Why are we doing this? Because life is short and the world is big, and we’re navigating it with a messy suitcase as we explore as much as we can. Join us on the adventure!
