Why visit Puerto Rico?

Puerto Rico serves a potent cocktail of colonial endurance and Caribbean spirit. In Old San Juan, you can trace the jagged limestone ramparts of Castillo San Felipe del Morro, where massive defensive walls face the relentless Atlantic. Wander the blue-cobbled streets toward the Plaza de Armas before cooling off with a bowl of mofongo—deep-fried green plantains mashed with garlic, pork cracklings, and broth—at a traditional eatery like El Jibarito. The island’s tactical position as a Spanish stronghold left behind a dense, colorful architectural heritage that demands exploration beyond the resort zones.

Nature here operates on a grand scale, far removed from the city’s fortresses. Travel into the verdant heights of El Yunque National Forest, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System, to hear the rhythmic chirping of coqui frogs beneath giant tabonuco trees. For those seeking coastal solitude, the bioluminescent waters of Mosquito Bay on Vieques island offer an otherworldly glow, while the stark, dry landscapes of Guánica State Forest provide a distinct ecological shift. After a day of trekking, settle into a plate of fresh alcapurrias from a roadside kiosk in Piñones for a true taste of local flavor.
