Things to See & Do
One of the most popular places to visit on
the island is the capital city San Juan.
It’s a colourful and vibrant place with a
delightful Old Town that’s full of history
and beautiful Spanish colonial-era
buildings. Getting out of the big city is a
great way to experience small town life,
though – plus the picture-perfect town
of Arroyo, with its quiet charm, is a great
place to add to the list.
But seeing as you’re on an island, you’ll
want to experience as much of the tropical
Caribbean waters that surround Puerto Rico as
possible. A haven for marine wildlife, you can put on
your snorkelling gear and explore the coral reefs for
an unforgettable underwater experience. It’s also
one of the top places for deep sea fishing and
For something a little more sedate, you can visit one
of the world’s natural wonders – but only once the
sun has gone down. Bioluminescent bays around the
island, like Laguna Grande, come to spectacular life
at night and you can experience their otherworldly
beauty from the beach or on a special kayak tour.
