I don't think Puerto Rico gets enough credit for how beautiful it is there.

Even better is when you step off the main island to a place like Vieques where you can feel truly alone and at peace. If you're up for adventure, beaches all to yourself, and amazing people, I highly recommend it.

Be mindful of the signage there though as there are unexploded bombs still littering the island which they work constantly to clear.

Horses of Vieques Island, Puerto Rico. There are more than 3,000 wild horses roaming this tiny Island. If you're lucky, they'll join you on the beach! They are taken care of by the locals. ❤️🇵🇷

🔥 They stole the land. They bombed the beaches. They poisoned the water. But the people of #Vieques fought back—and they won.

For 60 years, the U.S. Navy used Vieques as a war playground, displacing families and turning paradise into a toxic wasteland. The people resisted with blockades, occupations, and mass disobedience—until they forced the empire to back down.

But colonialism doesn’t end when the soldiers leave. The land is still fenced off, contaminated, stolen. Sound familiar? #Gaza. Kanien’kehá:ka lands. Different places, same colonial script.

They want us to accept displacement as normal. We never will.
