Zoni Beach was a little off the beaten path, but was even quieter and in my opinion more beautiful then Flamenco Beach.

| Unknown river in El Yunque National Rainforest |
After about 45 minutes of difficult hiking through the water we came to some nice cliffs with deeper water. There were a group of several locals spending the day swimming and going off the rope swings.

Rented a car for $9.00 a day which included unlimited miles. Best deal ever. I made a goal to avoid tolls and highways as much as possible. My plan was to head south through the middle of the island towards
Ponce and then from there head west to
Cabo Rojo and finally up the northwest coast to
Rincon.
