Puerto Rico Travel Guide

Sunrise and sunset are both worth waiting for when you're in Puerto Rico. The pinks and yellows that hang in the early-morning sky are just as compelling as the sinewy reds and purples that blend into the twilight. It's easy to compare them, as Puerto Rico is the smallest of the Greater Antilles. At 110 mi (177 km) long and 35 mi (56 km) wide, you can easily have breakfast in Fajardo, looking eastward over the boats headed to enchanted islands like Vieques and Culebra, then settle down for a lobster dinner in Rincón as the sun is sinking into the inky-blue water. That leaves you plenty of time in between to explore the southern coast, perhaps stopping to see the fanciful firehouse in Ponce or the charming colonial chapel in San Germán. More »
