Hi I was wondering if anyone plans on renting from Jerry soon....My husband and I really appreciated his services while we were on the island and we sent him a little something in the mail. I mailed

We spent Sept. 30 to Oct. 5 on Culebra and the only word I can think of to describe it is AMAZING. We already can't wait to get back.

We always rent from Carlos, but not because we enjoy driving a "showy" car while on Culebra. (Is that even possible haha)

Trisha,
I'm sorry you were dissatisfied with Jerry's practices, but may I interject that I've always been 100% happy with my dealings with him. Ants do live on Culebra and parking near

Hi!
We've been coming to Culebra for 5 years now. I don't think there is a less touristy place in the entire Caribbean. And Culebra has the better beaches by far.
That said, Culebra isn'

It has been shared on this board that it is wise not to take a car over on the Ferry. You must have reservations in advance and you may find yourself unable to get on the ferry even with the best of r

WE were just at Playa Zoni and you can now drive right down on a nice paved road to a dirt parking lot. Very nice. Soldado...some do drive but we hike. Big ruts and big thorns. Not worth the flat tire

The last few hundred yards of the road to Punta Soldado and the last 100 feet to Playa Zoni are dirt roads with ruts. No 4WD needed but high clearance that the small SUV affords is helpful. Other pa

Herb, I want to thank you for taking me off the hook with Owlihoot... Your "beater" post immediately following mine above makes my accidental age-reporting post look positively wonderful in comparison

Mort, dont worry about Owlihoot. Having met her last week at the campground I can attest she probably won't do you too much harm.

Also, try Jerry's Jeeps- 787-742-0587 or 0526. He is an outstanding man..gives you a map and explanation of the island which is very helpful. We have used him for years and he is very

I would definitely rent a car in advance. There will be little negotiation going on, the fees are pretty much set. Try Carlos Jeeps or Jerry's Jeeps.
