2024 Map of Parguera

About this map

Sierra Bermeja rises sharply above the southern coast of Puerto Rico, overlooking a complex shoreline defined by mangrove keys and coral reefs. This southwestern region, situated within the Valle de Lajas, transitions from the protected wetlands of the Laguna Cartagena National Wildlife Refuge to the celebrated waters of Bahía Fosforescente. The village of La Parguera serves as the central hub for this coastal landscape, where local roads like Ave Los Pescadores and Ave Angel Luis Lopez connect the settlement to the waterfront. Offshore, an extensive network of cays including Isla Magueyes, Cayo Caracoles, and Cayo Enrique creates a protected marine environment. The map details the intricate geography of the Caribbean Sea shelf, marking numerous reefs such as Arrecife Coral and Arrecife Margarita that have historically dictated maritime navigation and local fishing patterns in the area.
