Isla de Culebra (which translates to “Island of Snakes” in Spanish) is one of 143 islands that belong to Puerto Rico. However, only Isla de Culebra and the island of Vieques are inhabited.
In this guide, we’ll explore the island, how to get there, things to do in Culebra, as well as the best time to visit, and how to make the most of your trip.
A popular warm weather winter escape from the US, the best time to visit is in the winter dry season between late November and June for a rain-free trip.
There are two options for reaching this beautiful island. The first (and most economical way) is to take a ferry from Fajardo, which is roughly a 45-minute drive from the capital San Juan.
The other, more expensive way is to fly into the small airport on the island. The Culebra airport only has a domestic route that arrives from San Juan and also La Ceiba.
