Nature
Punta Yeguas is a headland in Yabucoa on Puerto Rico’s southeastern coast, marking the seaward end of the Sierra Pandura where it bends toward the Caribbean. It and the surrounding hills and shoreline are protected within the 280-acre Inés María Mendoza Nature Reserve, established by the Puerto Rico Conservation Trust and named for the former First Lady, educator, and conservationist. The reserve contains humid subtropical forest, coastal habitats, and steep sedimentary-rock cliffs, and is known for rich biodiversity, including dozens of plant and animal species and the endangered endemic ortegon tree, Coccoloba rugosa. Trails lead to Teresa Beach, the tip of the headland, and broad coastal views.
