Esperanza is a comunidadinPuerto Real Barrio, on the south side of the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico.[2] It was the location of Hacienda Casa del Frances, a historic site listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.[3]
Due to the town's location inside the tropics, its low elevation, and its position in the Caribbean Sea, Esperanza experiences a Tropical rainforest climate (Köppen Af). This results in a hot and wet climate throughout the year, with no significant change in temperature between seasons. Precipitation is spread evenly around the year, but the town experiences its greatest rainfall between the months of Aug-Nov.
