Puerto Rico

Posted on 28. May, 2009 by MyCaribbean in Caribbean Islands

Puerto Rico is a particularly popular destination spot for US citizens, as, as a commonwealth of the United States, no passport is required to travel from the US! This makes a Puerto Rico vacation perfect for those looking for last minute travel deals!

Most of Puerto Rico is mountainous, with sandy coastal beaches. Horseback riding, fishing, golf, tennis, kayaking, surfing and scuba diving are all popular vacation pastimes. Visitors to Puerto Rico should be sure to visit El Yunque, Puerto Rico’s beautiful rain forest and hike to La Mina waterfalls. The bioluminescent bays of Fajardo and Vieques should also not be missed if you’re lucky enough to be in Puerto Rico on a dark evening…every drop of water glows and it’s a magical experience, whether you’re kayaking on the water or viewing it from one of the restaurants along the bay.

Authentic Puerto Rican cuisine consists of a lot of pork and a lot of plantains – but the numerous restaurants that fill the island means there’s something for everyone! Enjoy an elaborate, if pricey, sit down meal, or stray off the beaten path in search of roadside dining.

Puerto Rico is home to a number of large hotel chains, as well as boutique hotels , luxury resorts and furnished apartment rentals.
