What is a piragua?
A piragua is a traditional Puerto Rican treat made from shaved ice topped with rich tropical fruit syrups. It's a refreshing classic, especially popular on warm Caribbean days. Served in a large cup, flavors range from tamarind, coconut, and guava to grape, lemon, and strawberry.
At Piraguas Las Muchachas, their signature touch is the famous homemade tamarind syrup, a thick, delicious topping that gives the piraguas a uniquely Puerto Rican flavor.
Why we recommend it:
✅ A truly authentic local experience
✅ Great for families, couples, or anyone with a sweet tooth
✅ Quick, affordable, and bursting with flavor
✅ Perfect after a beach day or on the way to La Parguera
💡 Palmeras Tip: Ask for a mix of flavors (pineapple with tamarind is amazing!) and bring cash, as some traditional spots might not accept cards.
