Puerto Rico is the Caribbean’s most complete destination. As a US territory, it offers the convenience of no passport requirement for American travelers, US dollar currency, and familiar consumer infrastructure, combined with a Spanish colonial history, a world-class food scene, and natural beauty that rivals any island in the region. San Juan is one of the great cities of the Caribbean, its 500-year-old cobblestone streets, colorful buildings, and formidable 16th-century fortresses making it a destination worth visiting in its own right before you ever reach a beach. And the beaches are exceptional. From the surf breaks of Rincon on the west coast to the bioluminescent bays of Vieques and the laid-back stretch of Condado in San Juan, Puerto Rico’s coastline is as varied as it is beautiful. The restaurant scene in San Juan has emerged as one of the most exciting in the entire Caribbean, with a generation of talented local chefs reinventing Puerto Rican cuisine for the modern table. Our Puerto Rico travel guides cover San Juan, the beaches, the mountains, the food, and everything in between to help you plan the perfect trip.
