In Puerto Rico, discover hidden gems, exhilarating outdoor experiences, and a vibrant Island culture. What do you want to do once you’ve arrived in an Island paradise? Dare to live every moment in Puerto Rico, where the possibilities are truly endless. Puerto Rico’s vibrant Island culture is infused with American, Spanish, and Puerto Rican history. Walk through centuries-old forts, explore charming colonial streets, and visit El Yunque, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Park system. Whether you’re soaking up the sun on one of the Island’s 300+ beaches, kayaking on sparkling bioluminescent bays, enjoying a local rum tasting, hiking to see waterfalls in a rainforest, or viewing contemporary art in a museum that is its own architectural masterpiece, every moment in Puerto Rico is an adventure waiting to happen.
El Yunque Rainforest is Puerto Rico’s largest nature reserve and as difficult to explore independently as any other tropical rainforest. Drive yourself to meet your guide in Fajardo and then follow your guide's vehicle into the rainforest. Discover it with a guide on this fun forest hike to two different waterfalls, one with a rope swing and free diving, the second with a natural rock waterslide and a cliff jump. Learn about the rainforest’s history, wildlife and trees as you hike.
Plenty of Walking Tours! While most visitors take advantage of seeing the historic and iconic sights, wandering the narrow streets and plazas of Old San Juan is an experience in itself. Many of the best tours in Puerto Rico include strolls through the old town's cobblestone streets to view the historic, colorful architecture and experience Puerto Rico's vibrant culture. No need to leave for lunch: Old San Juan is bursting with street vendors and restaurants ready to satiate your appetite. At night, the city comes alive and is filled with a bustling nightlife known for its drinks and Latin dancing.
Bioluminescent bays or "bio bays" are bodies of water where microscopic organisms called dinoflagellates grow in quantities large enough to produce a "glow-in-the-dark" effected called bioluminescence. When you paddle or splash the water, these organisms shine in a neon blue-green color, making the water look as if it was lit by billions of glowing stars.
In Puerto Rico, there’s always a party nearby — even if it’s right on the beach or in the street! Nightlife in Puerto Rico ranges from buzzing hotel nightclubs to low-key beach bars to roadside “chinchorros” (food stands) that transform into lively dance parties after dark. If you like salsa dancing until the sun comes up, San Juan has several trendy nightlife districts with clubs, lounges, and rooftop bars that stay open late. Countless places in the city to experience the nightlife scene, some local favorites include Condado, Calle Loíza, and La Placita de Santurce — a traditional farmers market by day that becomes San Juan's hottest street party by night, complete with booming live music, great restaurants, and late-night bars. No matter which side of the Island you’re on, there’s always a place to find a party, enjoy a drink, and experience the legendary nightlife of Puerto Rico.
