About Fajardo, Puerto Rico
Fajardo is a seaside city in the northeastern part of Puerto Rico, on the east coast of the main island, known as the "Pearl of the Caribbean". It is not part of an independent nation, but is a self-governing state (Commonwealth) of the United States. The city is famous for Fajardo Bay and its seven surrounding islands, of which Culebra and Vieques are popular tourist destinations.
Natural Landscape and Tourist Characteristics
Fajardo is home to Puerto Rico's most famous bioluminescent bay, Fajardo Bioluminescent Bay, where the blue luminescence of microorganisms in the water can be seen when boating at night. The golden sands of Playa Luquillo and the tropical beauty of El Yunque National Rainforest attract many visitors. The city's marina is a hub for transportation to nearby islands.
Culture and Economy
The city of Fajardo retains its Spanish colonial architecture, and the local economy is based on tourism, with a mix of fishing and agriculture. The annual Fiestas Patronales (Festival of the Holy Spirit), held in July, showcases traditional Puerto Rican music and dance. As a United States territory, it is bilingual in United States dollars and English/Spanish, and has easy access to the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, which connects it to many parts of North America.
