Puerto Rico

How can so close seem like so far away.

Puerto Rico is a popular place. From the Taíno Indians who inhabited this island a thousand years ago, to Christopher Columbus who set foot on the island during his second voyage to the New World, to the multitude of travelers who sun themselves on Puerto Rico’s beaches today—people are comfortable here. Evidence of the island’s rich history is scattered throughout its 100-mile long, 35-mile wide area. A pair of castle-like fortresses, El Morro and Castillo de San Cristóbal, stand as powerful reminders of Puerto Rico’s rich Spanish heritage. The wonderfully narrow cobblestone streets of Old San Juan are a testament to the people’s continued fascination with their past. The variety of activities available on Puerto Rico is endless. A twilight kayak on the phosphorescent waters of Mosquito Bay, zip-trekking through El Junque rainforest and surfing near Rincon or Montones are must-dos. However, if you find yourself simply lounging on a beach, you might just be doing the best thing of all—absolutely nothing.
