Are there bugs in Vieques?
Like anywhere else on earth, there are bugs in Vieques. It is the price we pay for being in the middle of the largest nature preserve in the Caribbean. We do have mosquitoes and noseeums, however if you use bug repellant fairly often they are not a problem. Repellant can be purchased at nearby convenience stores. Some of the other local wildlife you may encounter include large iguanas, mongoose and fruit bats. There are no dangerous snakes on the island.
