🏞️ Yabucoa Valley

The Yabucoa Valley is a large fluvial valley located in the southeastern coast of Puerto Rico in the municipality of Yabucoa. The valley is surrounded by the hills of the San Lorenzo batholith to the north and west, by the Cuchillas de Panduras mountain ridge to the south, and by the Caribbean Sea to the east. The hills surrounding the Yabucoa Valley as well as the bedrock underlying the alluvium in the valley are composed of the San Lorenzo batholith, a large, igneous intrusive body emplaced during the Late Cretaceous. The town of Yabucoa is the main settlement of the valley.
