Guajataca Tunnel & Mirador

Túnel de Guajataca

An old railway tunnel on the border between Isabela and Quebradillas. Just past the tunnel are a bay and a cliff-top viewpoint, making it a must-stop for drivers on the northwest coast road.

The Guajataca Tunnel was built around 1904 as part of the island railway that cut through the coastal cliffs. After the railway closed, it was preserved as a walking path. On one side of the tunnel are Guajataca Beach and the river mouth, where the waves are large and the currents strong, so swimming is not advised. Beside Route PR-2 is the Guajataca Lookout (Mirador de Guajataca), which overlooks the entire cliffside coast. Snack stalls are nearby. Getting there: drive about 25 km east from Aguadilla along PR-2, roughly 30 minutes, and combine it with Isabela's beaches for a day trip. The tunnel is dim inside, and the rocks by the sea are slippery.
