The Cheap and Secret way to Vieuqes
Hello Everybody! As ya'll should really already know, Vieques Puerto Rico is an amazing place with a lot to offer. The problem is it's hard to get to for many travelers. It's often expensive and time consuming to rent a car and leave it while paying not to use it, paying for a flight, or paying seventy five bucks each way for the cab.
So here's how to get to Vieques from San Juan and not break yer budget
-
From San Juan, get to Calle Ponce de Leon, or from Old San Juan get to the bus terminal around 8AM.
-
Take an M3 bus for fifty cents to Sagrado Corozon Metro Train Station. Take the express bus if you see one.
-
Pay $1.50 for a one way metro ticket or buy the round trip at 3 bucks if you wanna.
-
Ride to the Rio Piedras Station and get off at the Station. Go down the long hall and up the big escalator.
-
Go left out of the station and walk about a mile (passing the big park with the water fountains on yer right)
-
Ask as needed (locals here are cool) for the Estation-de-gua-guas-publicas (wa-was) aka the bus station. 7. Once there, find the sign that says "FAJARDO" or "VIEQUES" 7B. Wait for the Driver to fill his van to at least half full and GO!
-
The Driver will Drop you in the Pueblo of Fajardo for usd $5.50 plus any excess baggage for a buck or so.
-
Then walk or cab or whatever to the ferry terminal and yer done... It's about a mile or two and 30 mins walking. OR.. You can pay 15 dollars to go straight to the terminal from Rio Piedras... Or take a cab from town in Fajardo
-
Prices are "per person" and as this takes a little more time and effort it's for a certain kind of resourceful travel.
