Over the years we have emphasized the fun experienced by kids during outdoor recreations and while amusingly learning about a destination’s culture and history; however, in this ecotreasures magazine issue we recognize a particular reward: a joyful smile. This facial expression may beautifully show kids’ happiness induced by nature encounters, extreme adventures, bodies of water, and agritourism, eco-oriented or culture-and-history-related activities. Watching these smiles is priceless and gratifying.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, we share photographs of kids’ smiles that stood out while exploring nature and visiting a farm and historical site in Municipalities of San Juan, Vieques and Vega Baja, Puerto Rico. Kids were fascinated by ocean waves when playing at the beach as well as by an enormous Puerto Rican ceiba tree, a calf in a farm’s nursery station and an ancient cannon on the premises of fort’s remains on the top of a hill. You may check this article’s photo gallery to look at their gorgeous smiles.

Treasure your kids’ radiant smiles manifesting blissfulness resulting from discovering natural areas and historic sites or engaging in cultural diversions.
