Island Activities

Because of its size, Puerto Rico supports virtually any activity you might imagine. The west coast is one of the Caribbean's major surfing destinations; the north-central region has one of the world's largest underground river systems for spelunking; El Yunque is the only Caribbean entry in the national forest system and a mecca for hikers and mountain bikers.

Large resorts support several excellent golf courses and tennis facilities; and the surrounding waters are good for fishing and diving.

Puerto Rico is also lined with several excellent beaches, including a few on Vieques that are only now open to the public after many years. The tiny island of Culebra also has some of Puerto Rico's most beautiful white-sand beaches.

The island is dotted with interesting historical sights, and San Juan itself is one of the oldest cities in the western hemisphere. San Juan is also one of the most vibrant cities, with excellent restaurants, happening nightclubs, and great shopping.
