About this Gem
Nestled in the misty mountains along Route 184 in Cayey, Guavate is world-famous for its 'Lechoneras'—open-air eateries serving slow-roasted whole pork (lechón asado) crisp on the outside and juicy inside. Accompanied by arroz con gandules, mofongo, yucca con mojo, and live salsa music on weekends.
