Why don't you just go BUY a TRAVEL GUIDE for Puerto Rico?... Fodors Puerto Rico would give you all that information and then some.
You could also GOOGLE for Puerto Rico, in which case you would get ONE HUNDRED THIRTY SIX MILLION hits (136,000,000) and that would be a lot more information than a single sentence reply here on answers.
I hope you don't take this wrong.. but WHY don't you people use GOOGLE for these kinds of questions? I use it all the time and I NEVER ask a question here on answers because if I need information, I know that GOOGLE is the place to get INFORMATION. |
