Puerto Rico

A US territory, Puerto Rico is an interesting mix of American convenience with Spanish influences. A popular port of call with cruise ships, there is much to visit and do. Old San Juan is a small island connected by bridges to the mainland. It is where a number of defensive structures and forts - such as For San Felipe del Morro and La Fortaleza - are located. This historical town is filled with cobblestone streets and colourful buildings from the Spanish-influenced era. Puerto Rico is also home to Bacardi,  the popular Rum manufacturer and brand. In terms of natural attractions, visit the Río Camuy Cave Park, an ideal place for cave enthusiasts. This is a jagged karste region littered with sinkholes and limestone formations. Over in Camuy River, you’ll be able to visit one of the largest subterranean rivers worldwide. Above ground hike the El Yunque Rainforest.  When night falls, head on over to Bioluminescence Bay, a region where the high concentration of a single celled organism called bioluminescent dinoflagellates causes the bay to glow a bluish hue at night. Join one of the numerous night kayaking tours to experience this phenomenon. Puerto Rico is one of only four regions in the world where the conditions permit the adequate growth of this organism. From nightlife to adventuring outdoors, there is much to sea in this territory.
