Feel the culture
Vibrant! That's one word that encompasses the feeling and energy of visiting Puerto Rico and being around its people. There's dance, music, art, history… it's everywhere. Whether moving to the beats of a bomba drum in Loíza, the panderos of a traditional plena song in Old San Juan or swinging your hips away at the mecca of reggatetón at a nightclub, a contagious dance is bound to inspire and set the rhythm while you discover the Island. Celebrate life in a culture that radiates color and joy.
In Puerto Rico, culture doesn't stop with music. It carries across to high-end art galleries and towering historical museums that present the story of the Island through different mediums. Places like the iconic Parque de Bombas in Ponce and the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo in San Juan showcase the people's experiences in Puerto Rico through time and different mediums.
Enjoy the sunshine
Puerto Rico has sunshine to spare, and you'll soon notice that the colors pop all around, just like the sun rays shine through the year, with perfect summer-like weather through all the seasons. The Island is a paradise for nature lovers seeking to reconnect with the great outdoors. Find the only rainforest in the national U.S. Forest System and one of the world's most extensive dry forests, with hundreds of underground caves and more. Ride the waves in a renowned surfing reserve or lounge by a pristine, unspoiled beach part of the nearly 300 miles of coastline. Hike up the mountains to find lakes, rivers, waterfalls, or kayaks and swim around three of the world's five bioluminescent bays. You can also soar like a bird through a canopy of lush trees at the second-largest zip line in the world. The possibilities in nature are endless, just like the memories you'll make.
Savor the flavors
Puerto Rico aims to comfort even the pickiest eaters, and the food on the Island is like no other. Dubbed a "foodie" paradise because of the explosion of flavors mixed with state-of-the-art techniques, local cuisine will make you want to try something new each time. With farm-to-table and sea-to-table movements across the Island, the dishes are as diverse and complex as they are familiar. From dive bars called chinchorros to fine dining award-winning restaurants, you can snack on alcapurrias or bacalaítos (local fritters) or indulge in hearty dishes like mofongo or arroz mamposteao. You really can taste the love through food here.
And the cocktail and rum scene in Puerto Rico is like no other. Not only is the Island the rum capital of the world, exporting over 70% of the rum consumed in the continental U.S alone, but it is the birthplace of the iconic piña colada. You'll find that a creative approach to refreshing drinks continues to this day.
