Welcome to the heart and soul of the Caribbean!

Puerto Rico is an archipelago in the Caribbean Sea consisting of the main island, four small islands, and hundreds of cays and islets. The island territory is only 100 miles long and 35 miles wide (8,870 square kilometers). Still, it packs a fantastic diversity of sights, scenery, and culture.

The real charm of Puerto Rico is its people. The people of the Island are charismatic, hospitable, super joyful, and passionate. They will make you feel like you belong and will even invite you to dance with them. Boricuas, as we call the locals, are optimistic and energetic people, proud of their cultural heritage and history, which emerges from a mix of Taíno, Spanish, and African traditions.

You can experience the Island in an immersive way through its food, drinks, and music! Taste exotic infusions in dishes and cocktails, dance to the rhythms of salsa, reggaetón, and more, experience first-hand the pride of Puerto Ricans in exciting festivals. But there is so much more to explore in Puerto Rico. Do you dare to discover it?

In Puerto Rico, the possibilities are nearly endless: You might consider kayaking the 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. The hardest part will be to choose from so many options, but you can hang out on one of the Island’s beautiful beaches until you decide. The Island is full of hidden gems and exhilarating experiences.

Take a walking tour of Old San Juan to discover fortresses and cobblestones that date back over 500 years – it is the second oldest city in the Americas, after all. Or, schedule a food tour around the city to snack your way through the best fritters, seafood, and all things plantain–based.

One of the best ways to understand more about the Island’s deeply rooted art, culture, and history is through the many museums in Puerto Rico. You’ll find engaging exhibits, inspiring architecture, and insights that help you appreciate Puerto Rico in new ways at institutions throughout the Island.
