WHAT YOU CAN FIND AT OUR CANNABIS STORE IN ENCANTO TREE DORADO

When it comes to consuming cannabis, the second most important consideration, after the flower itself, is the method of delivery. This point is often overlooked, as evidenced by the prevalence of consumers who have limited their experimentation to one or two methods.

OUR CANNABIS DISPENSARY, PROUD TO SERVE THE CITY OF DORADO

Dorado, known as the “Golden City” and the “Cleanest City in Puerto Rico,” is a coastal municipality located in the northern region of the island, about 35 minutes from San Juan. Officially founded on November 22, 1842, as San Antonio del Dorado, its name may derive from the golden color of its sands at sunset or from the surname of Galician settlers who established themselves at the mouth of the La Plata River. Originally part of Toa Baja, Dorado gained autonomy thanks to the initiative of leaders like Jacinto López Martínez, who became its first mayor. The municipality is characterized by its mostly flat geography, traversed by the La Plata River—the longest in Puerto Rico—and by fertile soils that supported early agricultural and livestock development.

Today, Dorado is recognized for its combination of luxury, history, and nature. One of its main attractions is Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, a world-class resort spanning 1,400 acres and offering exclusive experiences such as the Botanical Spa and golf courses designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. This resort, originally founded by Laurance Rockefeller in 1958, has long symbolized elegance and has hosted prominent figures like Elizabeth Taylor and several former U.S. presidents.

Dorado’s cultural heritage is reflected in historical sites like Casa del Rey, a former Spanish garrison from 1823 that now functions as a museum, and the Jacinto López Martínez School, a neocolonial-style building constructed between 1923 and 1925. The municipality also celebrates various festivities throughout the year, including the Patron Saint Festivals in honor of St. Anthony of Padua in June, the Carnaval del Plata in February, and the Cocolía Festival in August, among other events that highlight local identity and traditions.

Dorado also offers options for nature and sea lovers. Beaches such as Balneario Manuel Morales, known for its white sand and crystal-clear waters, and Ojo del Buey, shrouded in pirate treasure legends, are popular destinations for residents and visitors. Additionally, places like Finca Gaia, a 35-acre natural forest, and the Watermill Aquatic Park, exclusive to resort guests, provide unique experiences for the whole family. With a diversified economy that includes the hotel, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing industries, Dorado stands out as a vibrant municipality that blends modernity, history, and natural beauty.
