Good spot to spend a few hours at getting to familiarize yourself with tropical horticulture. All specimens are clearly tagged with latin and common names as well as were the plant was from. May of the plants are from the places like Indo-China, Australia, and Africa. Best to visit in the morning before it gets too hot. The is no entrance fee.

This research center began operation in 1902 and the maturity of the plants and trees attest to that. The main building was built in 1909, where visitors sign in and are given a map of the grounds. The staff was very nice, spoke english and explained a bit about the research station. The walk can take however long you might wish. There are areas where the concrete sidewalk is broken up so I would advise wearing good walking shoes not sandles.

This is a pleasant stop and a nice walk through a collection of tropical trees and plants. This USDA facility houses the Ag Research Service, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Stop at the office to sign in and get a map. Most specimens are labeled. N18.12.416 W067.08.329

If you love plants like me it is a great visit. First visit the office and ask for a map, you can walk and enjoy. Very old trees and rare eatable fruits, coffee, cacao, mangosten, mangos, brazilin nuts... They have they have more than 17 different genera of Bamboos, if you want to see them you must ask for a special tour appointment. The walking area is just a small part of it. Many of the plants were plant by McClure and the records are in the Smithsonian Agnes Chase library.

We got to the Station a little bit late on a Friday afternoon. Needless to say we could not get the guided walk through the area but we got to walk the area by ourselves before they close. Beautiful old trees and many species from all over the world. Still got to lay down on the lawn and hug a tree ; )

Found this gem at the University of Puerto Rico Mayaquez. A walking distance from our hotel. The lady at the research center was very friendly and helpful. They have all sorts of tropical plants from other parts of the continent.There's jackfruit tree, cannonball tree, betel nut tree, Mangosteen to name a few. One of the employee gave us a madrono fruit to sample, it was delectable. If you happen to be in the area,don't forget to stop by and visit. It is free and very educational. I highly recommend it.
