A jewel of the Caribbean, Puerto Rico offers a multitude of things to see and do, and it helps to have a guide to ensure you experience the best this vacation destination has to offer.
First, Old San Juan is an absolute must, according to the Lonely Planet. Cobblestone streets, colorful colonial buildings and grand fortresses make this city unique. Views from the ramparts of El Morro include a general overview of the maze of streets and the sparkling blue Atlantic.
Puerto Rico is famous for its beautiful sandy beaches and turquoise waters, with Playa Flamenco considered among the world’s best beaches. In the evening, one can paddle or kayak certain bioluminescent bays to see the sparkling phenomenon.
Other activities include watching a local baseball game, rum cocktails at sunset, and of course, swimming and snorkeling. Places worth a visit include the museums of Ponce, cuisine in San Juan’s SoFo district, and El Yunque tropical rainforest.
