Located in the heart of the Caribbean, east of Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico is only 2.5 hours flight from Miami.
Caribbean Challenge Take a stroll through Old San Juan which comprises seven square blocks of cobbled streets and colonial architecture.
Hidden gem
One of the most memorable experiences is night swimming in Puerto Rico’s bioluminescent bays. The bays are home to large colonies of dinoflagellates that light up like fireflies and provide the experience of a lifetime as they produce incredible glowing waters. Two of the most spectacular bays are the northeast’s Mosquito Bay in Vieques and Cabezas de San Juan in Fajardo.
Puerto Rico consists of three main islands: Puerto Rico, Culebra and Vieques. Because of a central mountain range that crosses the island from west to east, it has a diverse geography. In the northeast there is a rainforest while in the southwest it is arid.
The people of Puerto Rico and their culture is a mix of Taino Indians, Black Africans and Europeans. Puerto Rico is a Commonwealth of the United States. The entry requirements for Puerto Rico are the same as for mainland United States and travel between the two is open. There are accommodations and
attractions for every taste: from city hotels and resorts to properties on the beach or in the mountains; from museums to shopping, from water sports to casinos & nightlife; from jewellery boutiques to factory outlet malls. And it is all within a maximum drive of four hours.
Puerto Rico is the ideal selection for every taste: town and country or fly and drive; Puerto Rico with Vieques or Culebra; Puerto Rico with the United States mainland; San Juan with a cruise; or Puerto Rico with another Caribbean destination.
