Mayagüez, known as the "capital" of the west coast of Puerto Rico, is the third largest municipality on the island. The Boricuas (those originally from Puerto Rico) call it "The Sultana of the West", "the City of Pure Waters" and "the City of the Mango". It is located in the center of the west coast of Puerto Rico. To the north of Mayaguez are the cities of Aguada and Rincón, to the south are the cities of Cabo Rojo and Hormigueros, and to the east the towns of Las Marías and Maricao. The variety of its environment mixes extensive coastal plains, swamps, hills and mountains full of green areas, where two river valleys stand out that have their shape thanks to the Yagüez rivers and the Guanajibo river. The Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in the capital San Juan is about 2 and a half hours away by car. Closest to Mayagüez is the Rafael Hernández airport in Aguadilla, one hour away.
