My uncle used to take us to La Cruz and also the ride up to the rum building. Plus there is a beautiful river inside all those trees. Go swimming. Spent the day out there. I remember also there was a balneareo en Ponce. Unfortunately they closed it. I remember those fish. I'm about to 😢. You made my day. Good work.

Mil gracias por el video és bellísimo👏🏻. Gracias por mostrar mí tierra amada PUERTO RICO 💞. Mí pueblo donde nací PONCE 💞. Bendiciones para todos🙏🏽. VIVA MI HERMOSA ISLA DEL ENCANTO PUERTO RICO 💞💞💞🐸🌴

¡Wow, la Guancha de veía espectacular, el día estaba brutal de lindo y con un sol tan brillante! 😍😍😍 Me encanta la Guancha, espero que puedan arreglar el paseo tablado pronto. Los peces que vio son sábalos. La gente no acostumbra pescarlos porque tienen demasiadas espinas. Acá en el muelle de Vieques se ven muchos también. ¡Gracias por el video, saludos cordiales! 😊😊😊

I am from Ponce, thank you for the memories.

Love your drone footage 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I was born in Ponce❤ ...miss my island.❤

Awesome video as always, La Guancha is one of my favorite spots in PR, especially that area where you can feed the fishes, sad that after almost 2 years I can still see some damages from hurricane Maria.

Lovely day.

Yaaayyy, La Wuancha!! I was dying to see what it looks like after Hurricaine Maria. It was destroyed!! Thank you SO much Ovi. 🌞🌞🌞

Great video. In the seventies my mom worked at the fish factory that was in that area. Last time I was there in 1987 they had this huge music festival. Me and my brother LUIS-(RIP).Used to walk from EL TUQUE tu Las cucharas, a lil past El balnario which is closed now to take dips in the ocean right before you make the turn on the main road that takes you to peñuelas.

Thank you for transporting me to La Wancha! Great memories of better days w/my step-son n my dad. They were younger n stronger!! Makes me choke!! 😢

Love ❤❤❤ those #gorgeous puertorican hotels. Such #beautiful architecture/design/classic furniture!!

Hi Ovi, another great video, Thanks for sharing, Luis from N.J.

Thanks for filming my home town. I will be there in a few weeks with my spark. You take very excellent videos. 👌

Omg!! Pelicans!! And the fish, reminds me of my step-mom; better times. It was her idea to take me to La Wancha w/my dad. 🌞😎🌞

Thanks I love it.

Very good video. That drone is worth every penny spent. It makes a big difference.

I was born in Ponce, but grew up Brooklyn, NY. I've been to PR And of course to Ponce. But I haven't stayed long enough to go to La Guancha. Heard a lot about it. It's a eatary, listen to loud music kind of place, fun place to visit with family and friends. -God Bless! Thank you for showing me How beautiful is my Little island with a big heart. (La Isla del Encanto)!

Realmente, lloré hace mucho años que no voy mi querido Ponce el lugar donde crecí...Muchas Gracias

Beautiful scenery and your content is always very catchy! Love your vlogs and I love mi Isla de encanto! Gracias for sharing your vlogs with us!

Good video. Thanks for sharing.

Dude! I love your videos. Another great one.

Este vídeo me hizo llorar, extraño a mi isla, gracias mi gente por esta motivación positiva, me motivo a sacar un pasaje para vicitar mi isla que tanto amo, nos veremos pronto mi isla del encanto.

I was there last week with my family. We visited La Plaza, went inside Parque de Bombas, had some helado across the street, went to see Hector Lavoe tomb at the municipal cemetery and then we went to La Guancha. Beautiful views, hopefully next time we go the boardwalk will be fixed and open to the public.

Hi Ovi. Great video like all ways. Ponce my home town. I was there last week on my vacations and I can wait to go back. Thank you for sharing your videos. Take care Millie.

I used to go to college there in Ponce by the Plaza del Mercado building.

Great vlog, Ovi! Thanks! Teresa (friend of Hayden's)

Excelente 👍🏼🇵🇷 Me gustaría que hicieras un vídeo de Dorado, Caguas y Guaynabo.😉

I've been there a few times. (BEAUTIFUL) I think you do a great video. Thank you

Wao! Gracias a usted puedo conocer mas de mi isla PUERTO RICO. Nunca visite la Guancha estando 38 años de mi vida en PR. Hoy la conosco por su video, hay mucho que no conosco de mi isla. Ovi, Gracias

Was there in Sept 2017 before Maria. There was a real lot of live music happening when we were there at La Guancha. Was also in the area you stayed at in Ponce! Great memories evoked from watching your post, thanks! Hopefully we'll be there 9/4 in Naquabo, Combate, Rincon, then SJ.

Ah estado en este precioso lugar el pueblo donde me crié ❤🌹🌷

La pasa de Ponce omg que bueno ver a el pueblo de ponce con mucha nostalgia.

Hi Ovi, of course, another great video. In January of 1974, I went to an interview in that very same bank in Ponce El Banco Popular, For a mortgage position. I wasn't hired. No regrets, later that year in May 17,1974, I joined the U.S Army. I retired 22 years later in May 0f 1996. thanks for that great video. Always brings very good memories

Hermano, You inspire me :) Your vids are the BEST! My 97 year old grandmother is from Aquadilla/moca and lives in chicago and she LOVES when I play these videos for her.

One night lol J went one way y Neme the other found J and policia found us with Neme 🙏 Great video !¡

I fell inside that water fountain when I was little 😂

Hi Ovi I'm new to your canal as of right now lol..love your video of our island..glad i saw this because I'm taking my friends from NY here @ the end of september, thinking that the boardwalk was already fixed. What a shame. I was here last year @ la guancha and the boardwalk was all messed up an closed off but damn almost 2 yrs later still wrecked..smh @ El pillo de Rosello and his side kicks. The boardwalk really is the best part of this place with the water and the boats so close.and the great bands and ppl dancing salsa on wkends. ppl come visit Ponce come visit P.R you will ❤️ it...gracias ovi for showing us with your drone, awesome.. Also come visit Patillas we are the esmeralda del sur..beaches, lakes, rivers and a whole lotta friendly ppl.. Ovi bring your drone we are " one of the best chinchorreo routes la #3

🐸 co'Qui......🎶🎵🎶...co'Qui🔥🔥🔥

Love those fritter foods out there!! I always wondered how people stay so thin eating all that #delicious fried foods. I think it's bcz in PR you are #defiinitely more #active n always outdoors. I miss that!! 💃💃💃 It's very diffferent in the states. We MAKE sure we get out!! 🌞😎🌞😎🌞

Those fishes are called " Sabalos" and in English they are called " Tarpons" .

Mi bello Ponce

Me encanta tu casa

Esté es mí pueblo.very good.

I love going there

I 💙🙏🤲 Puerto Rico

Nice video. Fyi the lions at the firehouse were just put in there few yrs ago after being created by local artist and displayed all around the plaza for a while. I think one was moved to plaza del caribe mall.

Nostalgic footage brings back memories of mofongos, sunsets, and mojitos at the boardwalk. The present day sad reality is that the boardwalk suffered fatal damage from a hurricane jarred with earthquakes that left the place boarded up. It's up to City Hall to lay down a plan for its reconstruction.

Literally as a tourist not being from Puerto Rico would be a waste of time visiting Ponce. To many better places to visit then going there

wow todavia es la hora que no arreglan el tablado!! Esa alcaldesa no a hecho un carajo por mi pueblo! que triste!!

Hi Ovi, encontre su canal y estoy “juqueao” con el. Le deseo mucho exito.

Puerto Rico I miss you it's been 12 years since I was there 😓😞

Sad to see the damages. When I was a child there was a boat ride to Caja de Muertos.

I'm praying I can visit next year

The frogs in the background. Ahh, I miss that

Saludos 👋Ovi OMG beautiful thanks for sharing. I just got back from P.R. today it was awesome 🇵🇷 🌞🏖🛥

¿Cuál hotel prefiere en Ponce, su hotel, Ponce Plaza o Meliá Century? ¿Cuántos días recomiende en Ponce ?

voy para pr..quiere decir q la Guacha ya esta renovada despues del huracan..ya esta abierto??

Ay gracias si no veo este vídeo no veo mi ciudad me paresia yo guiando mi carro por las calles de Ponce y la guanchaa. Antes toda mujer q entraba ala guancha la desacreditaban ya q era un lugar tan bonito q las parejas se Hoban allí especialmente hombres casados pero Ami me importaba un bledo yo me hiba con un grupo nos amanecíamos allí era precioso estaba todavía al natural no estaba el hotel ni las tiendas pero era nice

Hello my brother, I’m going to PR for 10 days in October, I plan to visit Arecibo, aguadillas,Cabo Rojo, Luquillo and Fajardo, can you tell me a good place to rent a room for each place...thanks

👍

hi ovi , till this in my life have not been able enjoy , My island , unfortunately for many years , was raised in fear ,as I left the Island years ago ,and would visit a few times , I ditn know how to get a feel or a groove for the this place..now at 46 , I'm still not able to enjoy the island like so many have ...wish you well thanks ...thanks for the video

Saludos. Muchas bendiciones. Para saber si puedo tomar 2 segundos de su video para un video personal mío. Tiene un email donde comunicarme?

The City Hall has failed to repair La Guancha Boardwalk. It’s been several years since Hurricane María and the last two mayors did not measure up.

Hey did you rent the jeep in ponce?

What a shame! After the earthquakes, La Guancha is pretty much destroyed. So sad.

Ps...thanks for sharing
