Bodegón Pop Wall Art by Bernardo Medina
Bodegón Pop refers to the large table of dishes and fruits placed by grandmothers to celebrate Christmas in Puerto Rico. This still life, which took about 10 hours to produce on a 12-foot table, includes as a central figure a lechón asado, which is one of the Island's main holiday dishes. It is accompanied by arroz con gandules, pasteles, and many fruits, legumes, and roots used in Puerto Rican Christmas cuisine. All of this is filtered through a very modern point of view of its creator, world-renowned artist Bernardo Medina (BeMe).
Explore El Yunque
El Yunque is the only rainforest in the U.S. National Forest system and a national symbol of Puerto Rico. Rich with history and biodiversity, the 28,000-acre rainforest sustains some 250 species of trees, 50 types of ferns, and as many as 20 varieties of wild orchids, thanks to receiving 100 billion gallons of rain per year!
Your visit includes stops at El Portal, the newly renovated Visitor’s Center; Yokahú Tower, which commands a view of the entire northeast coast of Puerto Rico; and beautiful Coca Falls. An optional stop may be made at a bakery if time permits for a snack and refreshments. Cost of food and beverage are not included.
