Introducing Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico blends the ease of a U.S. territory with the flavor of the Caribbean. You’ll find white-sand beaches, lush rainforests, cobblestone cities, and a lively music scene—all without a passport for U.S. travelers. Whether you’re hiking in El Yunque, savoring mofongo in San Juan, or relaxing on the quiet shores of Vieques, Puerto Rico delivers vibrant culture and natural beauty in equal measure.
When Is the Best Time to Visit?
Puerto Rico enjoys warm weather year-round, with average temperatures around 85°F (29°C). The dry season, from December to April, is the most popular time to visit, with clear skies and low humidity. From May to November, you’ll experience the wet season, which also overlaps with hurricane season. Travel during this time tends to be quieter, and brief afternoon showers are common rather than constant.
Where Should I Go in Puerto Rico?
Start with colorful Old San Juan, where colonial architecture, lively plazas, and centuries-old forts meet trendy restaurants and nightlife. Head east to explore the rainforest trails and waterfalls of El Yunque National Forest, or catch the ferry to Culebra or Vieques for quiet beaches and bioluminescent bays. Surf in Rincon, explore caves in Arecibo, or discover the coffee country of the central mountains—there’s a range of experiences in every corner of the island.
How Many Days Do I Need?
With 4–5 days, you can explore San Juan and nearby highlights like El Yunque and Luquillo Beach. A week gives you time to add a beach escape to Vieques or Culebra, or venture west to surf towns and rural mountain villages. Two weeks lets you fully explore the island’s diverse regions at a relaxed pace, mixing nature, culture, and beach time.
Getting Around Puerto Rico
In San Juan, you can get there on foot, by taxi, and by rideshare. But to access rainforests, beaches, and small towns beyond the metro area, renting a car is the best option. Roads are generally well-maintained, and drive times are short, crossing the island takes about three hours. Ferries serve the offshore islands of Culebra and Vieques, while small regional airports offer flights to and from them as well.
