Culebra, Puerto Rico, also known as La Isla Chiquita (The Little Island), is located 17 miles east of the Puerto Rican mainland and is home to fewer than 2000 residents. Formerly part of the Spanish Virgin Islands, it’s home to a variety of wildlife including deer, sea turtles, coral, and of course its namesake, snakes.
Exploring this island has been on our bucket list since we visited its neighbor, Vieques to see the incredible bioluminescent bay there. In this two-part series, we explore the best of Culebra in 24 hours.
