While the soft sand beaches that surround Puerto Rico will entice you to frolic in the warm turquoise waters beyond — or settle into a lounge chair with an icy piña colada — you’ll find much worth exploring on this vibrant island.
Culture and history; outdoor adventures; sophisticated dining and international casinos; world-class golf courses, spas, and resorts: Puerto Rico offers a world of choice on your island vacation.
One-of-a-kind attractions in Puerto Rico include windswept El Morro fort overlooking San Juan Bay. Construction began in 1539, and for centuries it served as Puerto Rico's harbor sentry; today it’s a great place to fly a kite or simply take in the view. Across the bay, the Bacardi Rum Distillery invites Puerto Rico visitors to tour its facilities and sample world-famous rums.
Puerto Rico also boasts the world’s only tropical cavern with an underground river. Trams and trolleys lead you deep into Río Camuy Cave Park, featuring the dramatically illuminated 170-foot high Cueva Clara and Cathedral Cave’s ancient petroglyphs left by Taíno Indians.
Vieques island, off the coast of Puerto Rico, is the ultimate hideaway. Take a midnight swim in amazing Bioluminescent Bay, where the waters brighten as you splash.
In El Yunque Rainforest, the only one in the U.S. National Forest System, waterfalls rush beside hiking trails. Swim in El Yunque’s natural pools while el coquí, Puerto Rico’s beloved tree frogs, serenade you.
