Bask in the Enchantment
Welcome to Puerto Rico, a Caribbean Island with more than 500 years of history, where Taíno, African and Spanish cultures masterfully merged to give way to friendly people with big hearts and hospitable by nature.
In a geographical area of 100 x 35 miles, small compared to most land areas on the planet, Puerto Rico offers abundant charm, which is why it is known as the Island of Enchantment. Getting from one end of Puerto Rico to the other is easy, not only because of our territorial size but because there is a highway that goes around the island and the connecting routes are well labeled. If you need backup, you can always use the GPS to locate yourself and navigate faster to your destination for the day. When planning your daytrips, don’t leave out El Yunque, the only rainforest in the United States National Forest System. It truly is a natural gem where you can hike, bathe in a waterfall, enjoy the panorama from atop the mountains and listen to the coquí, sometimes even during the day.
Puerto Rico’s entertainment offering is just as bountiful and varied. We love to party! In addition to cultural events and festivals taking place throughout the year, you will find large-scale events and concerts at our Fine Arts Centers, at the state-of-the-art Convention Center, or at the emblematic Coliseo de Puerto Rico Jose Miguel Agrelot, also referred to as the Choliseo, among other iconic venues.
Another must see or visit is the T-Mobile District, an entire entertainment center that has become the go-to place for a good time during the weekend, whether watching a game at the Medalla Arena, catching a movie in the 270-degree screen at Caribbean Cinemas, playing at the Toro Verde arcade or tasting its curated restaurant experiences, among other possibilities. Let’s not forget our vibrant casinos, where chance, risk, and entertainment converge in an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation. They provide plenty of game options as well as delicious cocktails and good music in a safe and friendly environment.
As you can see, Puerto Rico has it all. Enjoy your stay on the island where old-world charm meets a vibrant contemporary lifestyle in a paradisiac setting!
