Guide to Puerto Rico
This island of Puerto Rico is where adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion meet. With turquoise waters, lush mountains, and warm hospitality you’ll find yourself quite charmed by the rich culture that this Caribbean destination boasts.
Although you may feel like you’re in a different country with such a big change in atmosphere, Puerto Rico became a United States territory in 1899 meaning you don’t need a passport to travel here!
Skip the Customs line and drive straight to the beach. Puerto Rico is known for its sun-kissed shores and pristine beaches. Expect lush rainforests full of exotic wildlife and stunning views. You must make a trip to see it— I suggest going through the company Carabali Rainforest for all of these excursions. Horseback ride, ATV, or zip line through the breathtaking scenery.
The city center of Old San Juan is bursting with charm. Cobblestone streets lined with colorful colonial architecture make every corner Insta-worthy. Explore the historic forts, indulge in the local street food, and sip on a world-famous pina colada... after all, they were invented here!
