Puerto Rico - Precautions

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

Definitely stay in the historic part of the city where you can find inexpensive lodging as well as very expensive and check out the yummy bakeries, inexpensive restaurants and cheap street eats. I was lucky to be visiting during the Jazz Festival. I was on a budget, but if your not, there are some excellent restaurants where you can rub elbows with some fabulous looking people and eat wonderful food.Ladies, I was in San Juan by myself and I felt perfectly safe, although I didn't go out at night, but I would add that Puerto Rico is not the place for women who do not like excessive attention from men.

Hola a todos quisiera informacion sobre la cuidad y lugares de interes

It floods really bad when it rains.

Not a good place to be at night.

Check out some of the islands surrounding it, they have nicer beachs. But, the mesquitos are so bad that you have to use a military issue bug repellant.

San Juan is awesome. There is a lot of history dating back 500 years! There are some tips you need to survive it, though. Handle only a limited amount of cash, as there are theives around every corner. As long as you are polite with the locals, they will treat you with care. Wear your walking shoes. Be sure to visit El Morro and La Capilla, and all the shops along the strip. And just to be safe, do NOT venture to La Perla unless you want to get shot at. If you follow these tips, you will have an awesome time.
