Publication of Discovery: March 31, 2019
Issue: March, 2019

Engaging in water sports may allow people to connect with Mother Earth and appreciate its grand value. Even though the ways to bond with water and underwater ecotreasures as well as the resulting feelings vary among human beings, it is good to highlight moments when nature’s charm was striking.

Below we share a summary of the top five nature gifts in Puerto Rico that have stood out so far while performing water sports due to the energy or special attraction the ecotreasures ® crew sensed in relation to these.

ecotreasures’ Top Five Magical Encounters at Water:

1) Charco Prieto’s Waterfall

We were amazed at the imposing energy of Charco Prieto’s waterfall.

Exploration: Kayaking tour on Garzas Reservoir and surrounding bodies of water in the Municipality of Adjuntas

2) The Condado Lagoon

We felt that we conquered the Condado Lagoon while engaging in paddleboarding, and sensed freedom at its maximum expression.

Exploration: Stand-up paddleboarding on Condado Lagoon, City of San Juan

3) The Papyrus Plant

The aquatic Cyperus papyrus plant hypnotized us while kayaking on Río Vacas (Vacas River).

4) A Huge Elkhorn Coral Colony

The ecotreasures diver was astonished by the elkhorn coral colony (“Acropora palmata”) seen as it was the biggest he had ever encountered after many years of diving experience.

Exploration: Diving along with The Dive Shop’s Divemaster in “Jardín de Mariana” spot nearby the Municipality of Mayagüez

5) The Giant Barrel Sponge

The Giant Barrel Sponge (“Xestospongia muta”) was extraordinarily impressive.

We suggest taking advantage of water’s magic and letting yourself feel the personal bond with water sport sites and aquatic ecotreasures. Though you may like the outdoor recreation in general, it is rewarding to learn and hold dear the particular experiences that enchanted you.
