Are you visiting on a cruise stop? If so, how long are you going to be in port? The radio telescope is a good 1:30 drive from the port area with normal traffic. It is fairly easy to get there as there are actually two roads that lead to it. You would take the PR-22 expressway to the turn off to road PR-10. You will see a sign on the right pointing to the road that takes you to the site. You should allot around 5 hours to this trip to be on the safe side.

 

 

If you're not on a cruise you have all the time in the world and while you're around the area, you should visit Cueva Ventana (Window Cave). Google it, it's awesome and it's just a few minutes away from the country road to the telescope, just up the road on PR-10.

Been there (on land vacations), and it’s definitely cool to see, but you’ll spend the vast majority of your time just getting there and back.

I looked into this for a port day, logistically it didn't work all that well. Said to allow 2 hours each way, which eats up most of the day. If you have been to a lot of the rest of the island, might be worth considering.
