What are the best things to do in Puerto Rico?

My neighbor is Puerto Rican and she’s always telling me that I need to visit her homeland. She’s all about the food there, but she hasn’t given me any other suggestions. What are some of the best things to do in Puerto Rico?

Nothing is quite like Puerto Rico. Authentically Caribbean with touches of American, Spanish, and native cultures, you won’t find a place quite like it anywhere else. Driving the island is a great way to soak in everything it has to offer, and little convenience stores offer
road trip essentials
that provide local snacks. On your road trip, here are some of the best things to do in Puerto Rico:
  • Visit El Yunque National Forest. As the only tropical rainforest on U.S. soil, El Yunque has thick tropical foliage, waterfalls, and animals you won’t see on the mainland.
  • Watch surfers in Rincon. This famous surfing spot is always filled with surfers and features a decommissioned nuclear plant in the background.
  • Walk along the streets of Old San Juan. Built in 1521, Old San Juan features shops and restaurants in historic buildings. Keep journeying until you reach El Morro, a fort built by the Spanish in the 16th century.
Instead of paying for expensive
rental car insurance
, do yourself a favor and review your car insurance policy before you leave. In many cases, your personal car insurance will cover your rental car, saving you money in the process.
