Juncos and Caguas

We drove to the town of Juncos in the central mountain area, where we went to the Casaju restaurant. The road to the restaurant is a narrow, winding one. It is an interesting open air restaurant with a beautiful view of the mountains and rain forest.

We continued on to Caguas where we went to Jendy's Heladeria Artesanal for ice cream. 


The typical flavors of chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla were available, but there were many unique flavors: garlic, corn, rice, taro, peanut, habichuelas beans, sour sop, guava, plantain, sweet potato, pumpkin, passion fruit, cappuccino, coconut, pineapple, and cream cheese to name a few. We got a banana split to share. Our scoops were passion fruit, kisses, amore eternal (a combination of gourmet chocolate and almond cream). We selected mint syrup, M&M's, whipped cream and cherries. The whipped cream was delicious, similar in taste and consistency to marshmallow fluff. It's one place we could go to often!
