Puerto Rican Destinations Not to be Missed

Written by MichaelZ on June 13, 2010 – 11:59 am -

Puerto Rico is a fabulous travel destination that is sometimes overlooked in favor of better-known locales.   Puerto Rico has many advantages over other international destinations; for example, for those who are American citizens, no passport is required to enter the country.   It has all the feel of an international locale, with none of the hassles entering the country. This Puerto Rico travel guide is here for you to determine some great places to visit on your trip to this beautiful island destination.

The Castillo de San Felipe del Morro – also known as the El Morro – is the best-known gem of Old San Juan.   It has been Old San Juan’s most recognizable landmark for over 400 years.  Its primary function was to protect the valuable shipping route taking sailors from the Old World to the New.  To take a walk through the citadel gives visitors a fascinating journey through Puerto Rico’s military history.   From the cannons atop  the El Morro, still pointing out to sea, or the amazing sentry boxes, you can experience what it felt like to be a colonial era soldier.

Next on your list is the Vieques Biobay – perfect for a moonless night.  Begin by paddling your kayak through the mangrove trees into Mosquito Bay. What begins as a routine little trip on the water ends as you emerge into one of the most stunning bioluminescent bays in the world.   

“The Anvil” or El Yunque is the one and only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System.    This mountainous terrain is lush and gorgeous, two hours from San Juan and a world away from the sandy beaches.   You’ll find beginner and advanced hikes at El Yunque, and you can end your hike with a dive under a waterfall.

Your next trip should be to Culebrita, a fairly isolated and unspoiled destination on Culebra Island.   There is but one manmade structure on Culebrita – a lighthouse – so it is the perfect place to relax.  Frolic among the turtles at Playa Tortuga or snorkel along West Beach for a memorable experience.  

Finally, the Camuy Caves should be on your “to do” list.   Since it is the third largest cave system in the world today, you’ll find plenty to see and do there. Options include mud-sliding, body rafting, free jumping, or just touring and exploring the 600 foot deep cave system.  There is absolutely nothing like it in the world, and will make for a wonderful and memorable experience.
