After Christopher Columbus arrived in 1493, the island was colonized in 1508, and the capital city of San Juan founded in 1521.
As a result of the Spanish-American War, Puerto Rico was relinquished to the USA by Spain in 1898. Today it is a self governing (very independent-minded) territory of the USA, and enjoys much autonomy.
The narrow coastal plain rises into green (low) hills and mountains central and south. A few small rivers and lakes dot the landscape.
The climate is usually hot and humid, with some lower temperatures found in the higher elevations. Like most Caribbean islands, Puerto Rico is subject to an occasional hurricane warning (May - October).
The island is a mecca for Caribbean cruise ships and tourists from around the world. Old San Juan is the most popular destination.
Compared to other islands in the Caribbean, Puerto Rico has a high standard of living with a vibrant industrialized economy. |
