Workation in Arecibo: the essentials
For decades the world's largest radio telescope stood in the hills behind Arecibo, until it collapsed in December 2020. The observatory site remains in the karst country south of the city, an area of limestone hills and sinkholes that is the best reason to explore inland. Arecibo itself, about 80 km west of San Juan on the Atlantic coast, is Puerto Rico's largest municipality by area, with nearly 88,000 residents and a working downtown rather than a visitor scene. Rafael Hernández Airport in Aguadilla is about 45 km away. A car is close to essential, and the Atlantic here is often rough.
