LAGUNA GRANDE
AAs the summer begins to set in and you are beginning to think of where to vacation, consider Puerto Rico if you’ve never been. Its beauty makes it the perfect vacation destination. One of its ultimate wonders that would bring magic to every trip would be the Laguna Grande, one of the three bioluminescent bays found in Puerto Rico. Kayaking tours are offered at night, the perfect time to see the Laguna glow as your kayak gently moves through the water As you reach down, the water begins to glow as your fingers sway with the water. When the water is still, it is clear as the Caribean sea, but the laguna begins to brighten as soon as movement is added. Your hands hold the key to turning a calm, serene lake into a magical wonderland. Between your legs lies a glass panel in which you can gaze upon the animals of the bay. Fish, turtles, and if you’re lucky, or not so lucky, sharks swim by—the bioluminescent highlights their swift bodies as you observe from above. Calm fills the air as you look above; the sky is full of twinkling stars, and the cooling summer air fills your lungs. Pictures cannot compare to the astounding beauty and breathtaking nature of this experience.
Tour guides discuss the scientific phenomenon that creates the magnificent scenery before you. You learn about the ecosystem and the unique animals that the Laguna inhabits. Moments of quiet allow for the ecosystem to share its melody and envelop you in a song of nature and peace. For a moment, the Laguna Grande is the entire world. The magic of the everchanging tide, the cool air, and twinkling stars are all you need to start the best summer ever.
