Vega Alta, Puerto Rico: An Oasis of Quiet in the Northern Caribbean
Located on the northern coast of Puerto Rico in the San Juan metropolitan area, about 30 minutes from the capital, San Juan, Vega Alta is one of the Caribbean's most charming cities in terms of both nature and people. Known as an "oasis," this small city of about 60,000 people is surrounded by the Carite State Forest, which offers a wealth of hiking trails and ecological landscapes, making it a hidden destination for rainforest enthusiasts. The area is steeped in history, with the colonial-era Santa Margarita Church as a landmark, and the annual "Fiesta de la Cruz" traditional festival, which blends Spanish and indigenous cultures, attracts visitors to experience local folklore. The economy is based on agriculture (tropical fruits and vegetables) and small-scale manufacturing, but in recent years it has taken advantage of its proximity to San Juan to develop eco-tourism and recreation, making it a peaceful and vibrant city to live in northern Puerto Rico.
