Reserva Natural Mariposario Las Limas
Hiding in the hills about 5 miles north of Guayama, this family-operated butterfly sanctuary covers nearly 200 acres of semi-tropical land carefully watched over by a Puerto Rican couple. The 90-minute tour reveals an enormous variety of flora, fauna and wildlife and a chance to savor the fresh mountain air. Reservations are recommended. To find the sanctuary, go north on Rte 15 to Rte 179. Turn onto Rte 747 and make a right at the sign at Km 0.7.

Museo Casa Cautiño
This museum was built as a criollo-style town house in 1887 to house the wealthy Cautiño family, who profited from a typical trio of cane, cattle and tobacco. Almost 100 years later, the government claimed the property for back taxes (a common event on the island, which has saved many heirlooms). Now the house has been restored to its dignified Victorian state, with Oriental carpets and period furnishings.

Centro de Bellas Artes
A symbol of Guyama’s rising status, this former courthouse was made into a fine arts center that lies just west of town. The collection focuses on emerging and established Puerto Rican artists, though the walls are occasionally hung with student works.
