Juana Díaz is an important city on the southern coast of Puerto Rico, located on the Caribbean coast and is part of Puerto Rico, a self-governing state of the United States. The city takes its name from Juana Díaz, a pioneer of the Puerto Rican independence movement, and is a symbolic place of culture and history.
The city is located in Puerto Rico's fertile southern plains and has a tropical maritime climate that is warm and humid throughout the year. Its coastline boasts unique landscapes such as black sand beaches, and the surrounding agricultural area is known for growing sugar cane and coffee.
The economy is based on agriculture, light industry and tourism. The Sugar Cane Festival, held in January every year, attracts a large number of tourists and showcases traditional music, dance and handicrafts. The city's architecture is a blend of Spanish colonial style and modern elements, with the Church of San Antonio in the central square as a historical landmark.
The city is easily accessible via Puerto Rico's main highway and is approximately 1.5 hours from the capital city of San Juan. Visitors can experience a beach vacation, visit the ruins of a 19th-century sugar mill, or use it as a hub for exploring southern towns such as Ponce and Cabo Rojo.
