Puerto Rico’s beaches, El Yunque rainforest, and Old San Juan’s restaurants, historic sites, and shops attract visitors to the island. Kayaking in the Vieques Bioluminescent Mosquito Bay at night, ziplining through the rainforest, hiking to waterfalls, and exploring El Morro Fort are perfect activities for adventurous travelers. There’s shopping, nightlife, the Bacardi rum factory, restaurants, and delicious local cuisine to sample on a food tour or on your own.
