Puerto Rico Travel Guide

The of the top of attractions of Old San Juan can easily be seen on foot for the most part. While Old San Juan could be considered to include the far outer edges of El Morro, San Felipe Castle to the west and San Cristobal Castillo to the east, Old San Juan is usually considered to be the 7 or 8 square blocks of streets mostly established in a grid...

Metropol is the worst restaurant in Isla Verde. My husband, my son and me went there and they served us a fish full of worms. We notify them and they said nothing at all and after all this we have to pay 74.00 for the food. Not Recommended. NONE

Can there be more a more beautiful beach on the world? Can be,possible. But if you have been to Caracas beach it means you can consider yourself lucky enough to visit one of the World's existing wonders in "Beaches" class. No need to look and spend more for more beautiful. it is simply beautiful enough.Wear a snorkelling gear and just enter the...

Do not take the expensive Bio bay tour if it is full moon, or close to full ,especially if the sky is bright with no clouds and a lot of stars. The magical bio effect is lost too much under light. Try to get the tour when it is as dark as possible,rainy, no moon etc.. Don't forget,swimming is not allowed anymore and it erases most of the magic.

El Yunque is the only rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System. Comprised of some 240 different species of trees, it is actually a series of forests, each one determined by its altitude. More than 100 billion gallons of precipitation fall each year which creates the jungle-like ambience of lush foliage, sparkling leaves, shining wet rocks, and...

We spent the morning in El Yunque hiking down La Mina trail to the falls. El Yunque National Park isn't super big, and only really has one road through it, so to make the most of your trip there it's best to try to do a hike or too. La Mina Trail is a popular one, because at the end you're rewarded by being able to swim in a pool beneath a...

This art museum was the main reason I became interested in a daytrip to Ponce to start with--its art is really great! It has a wide selection of both European and Puerto Rican exhibits. When we were there they had a traveling exhibit about the Vienna Secessionists, which was fascinating. Their crown jewel is "Flaming June" by Sir Edward Leighton....

Plaza las Delicias is a really fun square/park in Ponce. There are fountains and benches and trees like in any park, a cathedral, the iconic Parque de Bombas (a revamped old fire station) that has become a symbol of Ponce, and 16 lion sculptures, each painted in a different way by local artists. I have a particular affinity for lions, so it was...

The bio bay is probably one of the main reasons to visit Fajardo. There are multiple companies that give the tours, but they are all more or less the same, charging $45-50/person, giving guided tours in double kayaks, and having some snacks and refreshments at the end. You paddle through a channel bordered by mangroves and then out into the...

We stopped at this months-old bakery for some pizza, which was subtly delicious -- thin crust, tangy sauce, good cheese. The coffee (I ordered a latte, but though they use an espresso machine, it seemed more like a cafe con leche (no foam, mellower coffee flavor)) was ideal. The owners were very friendly. We came back the next day for breakfast. I...

On the island you can find two hiking paths. One which crosses from the Southern beach to the Northern side of the island and one that forks off to the top of the lighthouse. These hikes are quiet easy; and particularly the one to the lighthouse offers splendid views over Culebrita and the neighboring islands of Culbebra, Esperanza and Puerto Rico,...

The island of Culebrita is a turtle nesting ground; therefore no camping, open fires or pets allowed on the island. Also there are specific regulations where to drop the anchor of your boat or yacht.

The entire island is surrounded by stunning reefs with crystal clean seas. The best snorkeling reefs one can find on the Southern Island between Culebrita and the island of Culebra. Remember when you go snorkeling here that this is a fragile ecosystem and once it is broken it will take years to repair itself.

Rosalinda's is a mexican restaurant with all of the charm of the Island without compromising the luxuries of the States. The restaurant has a Bilingual menu, clean bathrooms and A/C. At the back of the restaurant there are apt. where surfers in search of the perfect wave can rest at ease with entertainment within walking distance. I strongly...

Aguadilla is home of the most beutiful beaches in the Caribbean. Aguadilla's beaches also have big, glassy and powerful surf waves.

most places out of san juan don't have stop sign or stop lights,so u are suppose to stop and let cars in, as a courtesy. if u don't horns will be sounding at u. also they are good at running stops signs if there are any. so watch. most places don't have street signs. so u will get lost. locals are very friendly tho. they will help u. puerto ricos...

I have delt with Taino Divers on two trips to Rincon, and was surprised by the previous post. I have not only felt safe and well served by the owner and staff at TD, but have thoroughly enjoyed my interaction with everyone in that organization. I have taken my wife and teenage children with me, and their opinion is also very positive. Give Taino...

All the major car rental companies have locations here at the airport. One local company, however, with what I have always found to be reasonable rates is Target. This one, however, is right outside Muñoz Marín Airport.Since I first wrote this tip several years ago, other rental car companies have opened offices in Puerto Rico. I just used...

Unfortunately, this is a major concern in the entire metropolitan area. Be cautious when entering or leaving your car for people approaching you, especially if you are pulling into a driveway, or even parking in a lonely spot on the street.Also, BE AWARE, because of this problem, the police outside of downtown San Juan tolerate drivers going...

This local restaurant in the Condado area, is located just south /around the corner from At Wind Chimes Inn where we stayed. It not only boasts free parking (a sacred commodity in San Juan) but it also offers a large variety of local favorites at good prices. That's not all, Bebo's is one of the cleanest restaurants around. While it lacks decor,...

This is a really cool looking place, but everything about it screams tourist trap. The fancy lighting and everything makes it seem like the food is going to be amazing, when in all actuality, food averaged 6.2 out of 10 for all of us.HQ - "While sitting in plush leather chairs, I have found a little piece of American flavor within the borders of...
