“Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and enjoy the journey.” -Babs Hoffman
There's a saying that the journey is better than the destination or something like that. Our true adventure today was getting to the destination. If you travel to Puerto Rico I suggest not counting on Google to get you where you want to go. Yesterday and today it took us on some pretty out of the way roads that ended up at a dead end or turned into a river bottom. We could see we were so close but we just couldn't get there. If Stan hadn't been so determined to find our intended destination I would have given up and gone home. Some of the roads were a little scary. We were right on the edge of a mountain on roads that were no wider than our car, but the views were amazing.
Some of the views while we were looking for Cañon Blanco.
We finally used Waze and arrived at Cañon Blanco on the Caonillas River. It was so impressive and worth the effort it took for us to find it. The glowing, white rock canyon, stands out against the lush greenery of the forest and the beautiful blue sky. It was completely different than anything we've seen.

Looking down river towards the canyon.
The beginning of the first canyon. The canyon was deeper and more impressive here.
This is the beginning of the second canyon we thought it was very pretty also.
We even found a waterfall called Cascada la Danzante (the dancing waterfall) at the end of the canyon where the river starts to flatten out.
In numerous places along the river we found pre-Columbian petroglyphs carved into the rocks by the Taino Indians.
