|
|
|
Located
between Hispaniola and the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico
offers a vast array of luxurious and modern resorts, activities
and entertainment, with hundreds of beaches, water sports, golf
courses, tennis courts, world-class casinos, and discos. A
destination with sun, sea and a touch of the exotic, along with
the comforts of North America. See rugged mountains,
mangroves, incredible caves, and even a desert. Beach
lovers will enjoy Luquillo Beach with its calm waters
protected by an offshore coral reef, and the famous Condado
Beach in San Juan. Nature lovers can observe emerald
hummingbirds in the Guanica Reserve, hike through El Yunque
tropical rainforest and see the world’s most spectacular
phosphorescent bays.
You can reach the capital of Puerto Rico several ways. You can fly in as most major airlines fly to San Juan or take a cruise for a leisure visit to San Juan. But make the trip. San Juan is the capital of Puerto Rico, an urban sprawl of several municipalities that lie along the island’s north coast, and a major port for cruise ships. The countryside is dotted with centuries-old coffee plantations and sugar estates still in use. There is much to see if you decide to journey outside that capital.Explore the architectural treasures of Old San Juan – the narrow streets teeming with traffic, the famous Paseo, flower-filled plazas, churches, forts, and mansions dating back to the 17th century. You’ll find great buys in the duty-free shops as well as colourful carnival masks, wood carved saints and aromatic coffee. At night enjoy the world-class casinos, bustling nightclubs, bars and many fine restaurants. |
