Aguas Buenas

Aguas Buenas is a peaceful mountain town and municipality of Puerto Rico, in the Cordillera Central immediately to the west of Caguas. The town is famous for its many water springs and cave systems.

Understand
Aguas Buenas is one of the municipalities in "La Montaña", the mountain. The municipality used to be a district of nearby Caguas, and was founded under the name Aguas Claras (later Aguabuena), after the numerous natural water springs found in the region.

Get in

 * San Juan: Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport

By car
The easiest way to get to Aguas Buenas is by car through road PR-156 from Caguas.

Get around
Although there are some carros publicos (public pre-routed rideshares) running between the downtown area and nearby districts, the best way to move around is by car.

A word of caution: if driving you are sharing the road with trucks, and locals. The mountain roads have steep descents and ascents, hairpin turns, and steep cliff drops are not always protected by railing. The roads may look like one-lane highways but are made to handle two-lane traffic.
