Most people don't know that Puerto Rico is one of the last places on earth where you can swim alongside a West Indian manatee in the wild. 🌊🇵🇷
These gentle giants have been gliding through our coastal lagoons, mangroves, and bays since long before the colony had a name. The Taíno knew them. The fishermen of Manatí knew them. And the city itself was named in their honor, because the manatee was that woven into the soul of the island.
Today, Puerto Rico's manatees are protected, studied, and celebrated as a living symbol of what the island has always been: a place of extraordinary, irreplaceable natural beauty. La isla del encanto didn't earn that name by accident. Drop a 🇵🇷 if this is your island. Tag someone who needs to see what we're protecting. 🐾
