San Juan has a lot of hotels, beautiful beaches, lots of places to eat that are divine, lots of stores.
If you go to Arecibo, there's the Observatory where the movie Contact was done.
Fajardo is a great place too. There's El Yunque in Fajardo, a National Forest. Excellent, you have to watch out you could get lost there.
Smaller Islands like Vieques and Culebra are super cool, the beaches are awesome.
If you like drag racing I suggest El Tuque in Ponce or Salinas Speedway which is 40-45 minutes from Ponce.
In Camuy there are caverns, with an underground river which is cool too.
If you like surfing, you have to go to Rincon, they have awesome waves and the sunset are amazing.
I'm sure there are more places, but those are what came to my mind.
The Best beaches are the North East ones, like Rincon and Crashboat in Aguadilla.
Puerto Rico is one of the best Islands in the Caribbean. It has beautiful sandy beaches, blue oceans, divine restaurants, there's lots do throughout the whole Island...Surfing in Rincon, BTW it has the best sunsets, exploring caverns in Camuy, there's the Observatory in Arecibo where the movie Contact was made. Ponce has El Tuque, which is a water park and has a drag racing track beside it, Old San Juan is pretty too, there's El Morro, an old fortress, Lot's of stores, great restaurants, Fajardo has our National Rain forest, very pretty, Vieques and Culebras with beautiful beaches....
There's lots to do, don't forget to try our tipycal food, it's the best!!!!
Also... it's the same currency and most people speak english...
Hope you like Puerto Rico |

Eat at Manolins, El Jibarito, Raices, Tio Danny , or just go to a tipical car an ask for Bacalaitos or Alcapurria (you could find this also at PiÑones are, near the beach , nice place and cheaper) and Luquillo Beach.

Hello friend.
For the best beaches, you need to go to the north-west of the island. Search for towns like Aguadilla, Isabela and RincĂłn, specially if you like surfing.
Also, there are the small islands of Vieques and Culebra to the east of the Island. In Culebra you will find Flamingo Beach, one of the best in the world!
For nature lovers, there is El Yunque(east), the only rain forest in the U.S. Then there is "Cuevas de Camuy", which means caves of the town of Camuy, There you will find one of the biggest underground rivers known to man. But there you will find much more. Try a search on the net to find professional tours(recommended!).(Sound of bats in the caves where recorded for the move Batman Begins)
Now, for the nights, start of with Old San Juan, the oldest colonial city in the Caribbean( go there in the day as well, many shops and the city is great). Many pubs and lounges.
Also, areas like el Condado and Isla Verde, where you will probably be staying are filled with nightspots.
I recommend that you make a good search in the net anyways and have fun. |

If you have a car you can go anywhere in Puerto Rico!
I would recommend driving the coast and letting the day decide where you spend the night.
People suggested some great places...
I would also go to San German where they have one the oldest churches on the island, and it has cool stories of underground tunnels.
Louisa, is very rich in African history, lots of great music!
Aguadilla, a treasure I discovered not to long ago...Lots of great beaches and surfing...if you go eat at Mr. Mofongos...loved it!
Lares, is rich in history as well... it's where Albizu Campos faught and died...(look him up)
It all depends on what u like to do... I love the sunset at Boqueron...along with its seafood.
San Lorenzo and Ciales is home, if you want country....San Lorenzo is a place to visit....not to mention the home of Chayanne LOL
Be carefull like anywhere people try to take advantage of tourist and dont be gullable thinking that nothing can happen to you at 1 in the morning as you stroll through the streets of place where you know no one! LOL I'm keeping it real...
Do some reasearch...balance what you enjoy as ask people you know...while you are there try the helados...and snow cones, pinchos, alcapurrias and bacalitos...UMMMMM
Use your best judgement and have fun! |

San Juan is great, but overrated and too crowded. If you are coming in the summer, your best bet is to visit the inner island - it's less tourists too. Come to Camuy and see the Caves, the Arecibo Telescope, sunsets in Rincon, The Bioluminescent Bay in Vieques (a must see), Crashboat in Aquadilla, El Yunque (the rainforest, also a must see), Pretty much everywhere has some sort of attraction here. Have a nice trip ♥♥ |

Don't buy anything in Old San Juan on the weekend. Go and walk around, see what you like and then go back on a Wed and it's 1/2 price. Locals increase and often double prices on the weekends because of all of the tourists.
Luquillo is a very nice beach at the foot of El Yunque. Manatee Beach is also very interesting. The rocks come around and form a horseshoe shape and the ocean enters thru the center, it's very beautiful.
Somewhere near Ponce there are illuminated microscopic animals in the water, so at night they seem to glow. You can take a boat ride and see them
There is also a highway that goes from San Juan to Ponce, it saves you a lot of time, but to see the local areas of PR, try taking a back road thru Barranquitas (sp?) and Toro *****, it takes you thru the highest points on the island and the views are incredible. |
