Puerto Rico

Eat at Marmalade in the old city

Get out of San Juan. Go to the radio telescope.

Good food, good salsa dancing, good shopping..everything is good about San Juan Puerto Rico!

The old town can be a good time but stay away from Senor Frogs unless you a cruise ship tourist or like hanging around with these crowds

It is one of the most beautiful places in Puerto Rico history.

If you take a taxi, get the rate from the hotel. When "negotiating" the fare, state the price... don't ask how much?

if you are in puerto rico visit culebra nad vieques islands, planes and ferrys are available.

Plaza de SanJose in old San Juan is a nice place to visit during weekends, and evening. Drive to El Yunque, a rain forest and go hiking, it is well worth it.

I love this place! You must walk up to the fort it's fantastic. Bacardi was invented here just FYI. Also love the carnivals and holiday day they celebrate here!

Try out the local cuisine there, its special.

Ciudad segura, de gran belleza natural. Gente amable. Visitala!!!

good food but best drinks in old city San Juan.... have a goot time if you ever go there....

El Conquistador... simply gorgeous. I stayed for a couple of days with a group of people from work, and loved it! Don't miss SCUBA diving (full day tours to close-by islands.. fantastic!!), or at least snorkelling. And try some night-kayaking in their sweet-salted lagoon where water sparkles!!

If traveling to Arecibo enjoy the ride. Stop along the road side and have a couple of pinchos. The observatory is great although you really wont spend more than 30 minutes getting through the museaum area and taking pictures.

Es una ciudad preciosa y bien cuidada. Tenéis que visitar el barrio colonial y la fortaleza del morro!

Make sure you go this south wesetern most point of Puerto Rico and watch the sunset. If your lucky you can see the "green flash" when the sun dips below the water.

Walking around San Juan in the evening is beautiful. You can get a snow cone and listen to some great local music. The sunset is beautiful and there is some cool art for sale.

Be extremely careful when driving to the observatory! The roads are quite treacherous and not recommended for the faint of heart!

If you're not stopping in the city of Arecibo to eat, but you are going to the observatory, visit the "official" restaurant of the observatory. It's about a mile before the observatory itself, on the only road to get there, right at a sharp turn in the road. You can't miss it! The food was quite surprising for what looked like a hole in the wall - it was great!

Last June I was excited to go to Puerto Rico until one of my college friend's told me that it wasn't worth the "hype." (He just came back from San Juan.) So I wasn't that excited anymore and was expecting to have a boring time.. was I WRONG!! Never stay were the tourists are!! Lucky for me, my friend was a native there and she had family and friends everywhere. We traveled 80% of the island, and it was beautiful and untouched. I was able to go outside and pick a mango or banana whenever I wanted to. Everyone there is friendly and helpful.The first day in Puerto Rico was the only time I saw were the tourists are and it wasn't pretty... my advice, Rent a car and Explore.

Try the Mofongo! Don't worry,its a food.

If you ever find yourself in Puerto Rico, you HAVE to check out Old San Juan. The buildings are beautiful and the town is adorable. From the sweet scented bright flowers to the bath warm waters of the caribbean the island is beatuiful throughout, but Old San Juan really is a facinating spot to check out. Their fort is still intact and there, I did not get to tour it however, definately something I would do if I were to go again..

If it's summer time and you plan on taking the 9AM ferry, make sure to arrive as early as 6AM. Flights from Fajardo to Culebra also become quite booked once the tourists notice the long lines.

Going W on the 3 towards San Juan from Luquillo are food courts called Kioskos. For a slightly pricey but delicious Puerto Rican meal, check out La Parrilla which is Kioskos #2 near the end on the westmost side.

Villa Carolina is close to the International Airport Luis Muñoz Marin in San Juan Puerto Rico. About 20 minutes from there. My friend live in that area. Nice houses.

When walking up the stairs to the observatory, bring extra cash to buy a delicious pina colada!

Check out the salsa clubs. There are some amazing dancers!

You have to visit the Taino caves just East of Arecibo!!!  It is not a tourist area, just park in a local guy's yard (Richard) for $2.  It is the most beautiful place on the island.  Take sneakers for hiking around!

Located 16 km (10 mi) south of Arecibo, Arecibo Observatory is a astronomical observatory, which is one of the world's most powerful radar-radio telescopes, and the largest single-unit radio telescope in the world. This instrument, inaugurated in 1963, employs a 1,000-foot (300 meter) spherical reflector consisting of perforated aluminum panels that focus incoming radio waves on movable antenna structures positions about 500 feet (168 meter) above the reflector surface. The antenna can be moved in any direction, making it possible to track a celestial object in different regions of the sky. It collects radio astronomy, terrestrial aeronomy, and planetary radar data for scientists around the world. The telescope was featured in the movies GoldenEye (1995) and Contact (1997). The National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center developed the observatory and it is operated by Cornell University under a cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation. Conceived in 1958 by William E. Gordon, a Cornell professor of electrical engineering, the radio observatory has been operated, since its completion in 1963. The Arecibo Observatory owned by Cornell University, is powerful enough to receive signals transmitted by a comparable telescope located 1,000 light-years away.
