Ready to experience the culture and warmth of a Carribean island while immerced in it's rich history and perfect-picture beaches? Visit Puerto Rico, where a diverse culture and soulful food, never mind mystical mountains, will move you with every step in La Isla del Encanto.
Puerto Rico, located in the northeastern Carribean Sea and home to 3.6 million people, including 400,000 people in the capital city of San Juan, soaks of buena gente ready to make you feel bienvenidos -- like summer of 2017 when Cynthia and I started a four-day trip to Puerto Rico at 'El Horno de Pane', a bustling bakery in Hato Rey, San Juan, where the monkey bread and poached eggs where enough to keep me from the croissants and danishes.
Ocean Park, a quiet, coastal neighborhood bathed in hotels between Condado and Isla Verde, highlighted Day 2 of our trip to Puerto Rico. The 19-room Dreamcatcher, tucked outside a gated community, caught her eyes; its vegetarian meals and courtyards filling out the afternoon.
Condado Beach in San Juan made for a day; its flat sands and lofty palms lending a picturesque backdrop, cutting into the urban surroundings in Condado Beach.
El Yunque National Forest, 29,000 acres filled with exotic trees and birds on the east side of Puerto Rico, took us the rest of the way; its terrific waterfalls and jungle vines offering Tarzan-like courage for the curious.
Visit Puerto Rico, where every move you make will make you feel right at home in La Isla del Encanto.
