 Puerto
Rico maintains a rich Spanish heritage that is evident in the architecture
and culture of today. The introduction of many modern amenities
has yet to detract from the resplendant Spanish Old World charm present
in many of Puerto Rico's cities and towns. |
| Puerto Rico's capital city, modern San Juan, is ironically
enough, the 2nd oldest city in the Americas and Old
San Juan reflects this in its crumbling facades, beautifully
restored fort
complex and Old World charm. Ponce,
Puerto Rico's second biggest city, has been immaculately preserved.
North of San Juan, the El
Yunque offers incredible jungle
trekking. On the west side of the island, Rio
Camuy Cave has a 400 ft. sinkhole and one of the largest
underground rivers in the world. The beaches
on the west side of the island have excellent surfing
and snorkeling. Scuba diving is wonderful in the clear waters
near Vieques
and Culebra Islands. Puerto Rico's amazing natural beauty
and architecture have made it a shoe-in on the "Favorites"
list in the menu bar above. For an armchair tour of Puerto Rico, click the Photo Tour button to the left. Explore. Relax. Enjoy. Destination: Puerto Rico. |
