Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is more Caribbean , Spanish, Latino, tropical and colorful than anything stateside. Puerto Rico lies West of The British Virgin Islands, and East of The Dominican Republic. The travel hot spot of the island is the capital of San juan . It is a modern city with ancient roots and lots of sights that date back hunderds of years. To the East of San Juan is the rainforest of El Yunque; then to the South of the island is the beautiful town of Ponce , surrounded by fine beaches.

Other attractions on the island include the Camuy caves, near Arecibo , the phosphorescent Bay near La Parguera, and the Espirito Santo River , which offers boat tours along a 5 mile stretch. The dry southwestern corner of the island is noted for its beaches and picturesque fishing villages with easy-going attitude. Here you can savour fresh clams and oysters in between sips of coconut water and the enchanting company of sea, sun and sand. San Juan bars and clubs are patronized during the day by the zillions of cruise passengers. In the evenings, a more local crowd makes merry into the wee hours. More than any other Caribbean hot spot.
