Puerto Rico, a vibrant territory of the United States located in the Caribbean, combines rich history, tropical climate, and diverse cultural influences into a dynamic travel destination. Visitors to San Juan, the capital, can explore the colourful Spanish colonial buildings and the massive fortresses of El Morro and San Cristóbal, part of the city’s UNESCO World Heritage site. Beyond its historic cities, Puerto Rico offers stunning natural landscapes, including the lush El Yunque National Forest, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System, and the bioluminescent bays of Vieques and La Parguera, where visitors can kayak at night to see the waters light up with glowing microorganisms.
The island's culture is a lively fusion of Spanish, African, and Taino influences, evident in its music, cuisine, and festivals, making a welcoming atmosphere blended of natural and historical sites.
