Throughout the years we have emphasized the grandeur of Mother Earth’s gifts and the pleasure resulting from nature encounters experiences; however, in this ecotreasures magazine issue we highlight a particular reward: a joyful smile. This facial expression may beautifully show happiness felt when one is hiking, camping, bird-watching, biking or simply staring at natural sites. Also, watching other people smiling while being enchanted by nature can be pleasant.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, we share photographs of smiles that stood out during nature encounters activities in the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico. Spectacular natural areas explored during hiking and camping adventures in Municipalities of Aibonito and Patillas induced bliss and precious smiles. See the scenes’ images while checking this article’s photo gallery.

Appreciate the smiles Mother Earth brings about in you and others.
