Where is the best place to visit in Puerto Rico?

Show all answers

If you get chance try to rent a car, that way you can see the sights on your terms and not on a set time frame with a group tour. Most people will know English, especially in the tourist areas, but trying your hand at speaking Spanish looks good.

If you do rent a car just bear in mind that driving is a little crazy, just keep your eyes on all your mirrors and you'll be fine.

Places to Stay.
Really depends on your budget, if you want to take a chance, try priceline.com (you can specify the star of the hotel and make a bid on the nightly rate). Or check out expedia or travelocity.

There are some great hotels overlooking the beach in the Condado area.

Check out tripadvisor.com and search pierto rico. Gives a list of hotels and b&b's

Places to see.
Old San Juan - easily spend a few hours walking around here. It's a little hilly so maybe jump on the free trolley bus to El Morro (the fort) and work your way back down through the city. Plenty of places to eat and drink for all budgets. Try Breakfast at La Bombonera (one of the oldest establishments in the city)

El Yunque (rainforest) plus spend the afternoon at Luquillo Beach

Check out one of the grand hotels on a weekend evening and try your hand (feet) at some latin dancing.

Ponce on the South coast for more Puerto Rican architecture

Arecibo Observatory. The James Bond movie Golden Eye and also the Jodie Foster movie Contact were filmed there.

There is also this: Las Cabezas de San Juan Nature Reserve (Tel:787-722-5882). I have not been, but I would like to (it sounds a cool place to visit). You can have an escorted tour through the reserve on an electric trolley, but you have to book in advance.

There is plenty to do here. You might even want to consider a side trip to Vieques or Culebra (as I've heard the beaches are amazing)

Try the local food stands and just enjoy everything that the island has to offer.

Food wise, everything you can imagine. In condado area for seafood try Miro's (was there yesterday and it was superb). In Old San Juan try The Parrot Club for Caribbean style or Tantra's for Indian cuisine

P.R has many beatiful places to visit. If you like nature have to visit "las cavernas de Camuy" . I can really say is one of the seven miracles. You will feel out of this world. Also near the area you can go to Arecibo to see the biggest telescope in the world. From there, go to Quebradilla: "The Tunnel" is near the beach and has a hotel and bar. Going down, is Isabela, the best beaches. Anasco and Rincon is tourist area. Best hang out places and lots of gringos. Mayagues are the casinos and pubs. POnce lots of history. from there back to San Juan, unless what to venture to deep P.R. (middle) where history began.

You can enjoy horse riding, scuba diving, bar hoping, rivers, hiking, etc...
Just have to find the right tour person. enjoy

A Really nice place is The Camuey Caves. my grandparents live in Camuey and they have such beatiful, unique caves there...Its a great place if you you want to try something new...Also, lots of clubbing in San Jaun and other places too...if you like that kind of stuff...but I think you would like the Caves...they're very interesting. There is also El yunque Rainforest....Very very beatiful...Puerto Rico has alot to offer

The best sites to see are El Morro (the old fort in SAn Juan), El Yunque Rain Forest, Camuy Caves, Biolumenesent Bay(there is one called La Parguera near Ponce & one in Vieques- they glow in the dark) Arecibo Observatory(giant radio telescope), there are also some great indian parks, beautiful mountain ranges & beautiful beaches. Also walk the colorful streets of old San Juan.
There is plenty of shopping like Plazas de Americas. & Plenty of restaraunts & nightlife in San Juan. Check out these sites for more. Also I suggest renting a car b/c you can see everything the island has to offer & the island is only 100 miles long so nothing is too far. If you dont want to stay in San Juan, the expensive bus city. I would suggest Dorado embassy suites. Its a half hour away & it is beautiful & less than $200 for a suite w/ balcony. Enjoy!! Weather is great, people are nice & food is delicious!
