This 42 meter long reclining Buddha is located in Wat Lokaya Sutha, one of the many of the temples throughout Ayutthaya. Known as One of UNESCO’s world heritage sites, the city of Ayutthaya is well known among historians for its ancient ruins and poignant architecture. Referred to as the Venice of the East, the city was built by the King U-Thong who declared it the capital of his kingdom, Siam. Most of the city was destroyed by the Burmese army during their rampage around the country which resulted in the fall of the empire. The city’s historical park, ancient temples and other ruins are a must-see for all visitors touring the area. For more information visit http://bit.ly/oTIFZW.

Starting at the Isla Verde Marriot Resort on route 187, this beach front trail-boardwalk is the perfect Sunday diversion for people-watching, exercising, or just soaking in the amazing views of breaking crystal waves and vibrant greenery over the 20 miles of trails. Most of the trails follow the coast along the Piñones beaches leaving San Juan and heading into Loiza. The rapid change between metropolitan San Juan and traditional Afro-Caribbean life in Loiza is noticeable in the unassuming architecture of the colorful food stands that line route 187. A great way to spend a day riding bikes (rental stands line the trail), to catch great views and then finally relax in front of the beach with some seafood and coconut drinks.
