TRAVEL GUIDE: PUERTO RICO

White sandy beaches, coastal lowlands and an amazing rainforest are just some of the features of this exotic destination. The island of Puerto Rico, nestled between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, boasts year-round summer weather ideal for exploring caves, surfing at La Concha in San Juan or hiking the Commonwealth Forest Reserves. Modernity hasn’t stripped this locale of its charm—locals are extremely hospitable and eager to share their diverse culture and cuisine. Indulge your palate with tasty traditional dishes such as carne fritta con cebolla (fried steak with onions) or be adventurous and sample sesos empanados (breaded calf brains) with a side of plantains. The options on this lively island are endless.
