History
[edit | edit source]Helechal was in Spain's gazetteers[6] until Puerto Rico was ceded by Spain in the aftermath of the Spanish–American War under the terms of the Treaty of Paris of 1898 and became an unincorporated territory of the United States. In 1899, the United States Department of War conducted a census of Puerto Rico finding that the population of Helechal barrio was 1,485.[7]

Features and sites
[edit | edit source]Helechal is not easy to get to from San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, as it is deep in the Cordillera Central, the main mountain range in Puerto Rico, and accessed via twisting, turning roads. In Helechal there are two airplanes which have been converted into a restaurant called Los Aviones, which is visited by tourists and locals alike.[13] The place is accessed by going over a rope bridge.[14]
