My mom and I did a tour with him today! Booked solely from watching this video. David was an absolute wealth of knowledge. He was super sweet, funny and very very humbled. The trial was supposed to be about 2 hours but we went well over that. His tour wasn’t too congested with a huge crowd either. We had a nice comfortable small group of about 3-4 families (including my own). He made the trip very personable and answered any and every question you had. Would definitely book with him again! 💜

I am of Indian descent. I have lived there for 2 years and spent many of my winters there. Please do go. It's magical. Be sure to visit Vieques for one of the strongest Bioluminescence bay in the world. Culebra is beautiful too. But no matter where I go in the world, the magic always brings me back here. I have some videos on my channel about the magic that the island means to me.

I agree with many people that say Puerto Rico is one of the most beautiful Islands in the world. One thing that confuses me is the pronunciation of the name of the Island. Some people pronounce the name Puerto Rico, meaning rich port, the other is Porto Rico, which in Portuguese also means rich port, the other is Porro Rico, what does Porro stand for?
@guajon1 3 жыл бұрын
The official and correct one is Puerto Rico, after the USA invasion in 1898 for some reason the americans change the name to Porto Rico but change back to Puerto Rico after a few years. Sometimes the europeans and some americans say Porto Rico. Porro Rico is because english speaking people cant pronounce Puerto and they say Porro.

You are right in some part, why I say that, because I have also heard Puerto Ricans calling The Island Porro Rico.@@guajon1

Is puerto, the us when it first obtained it tried to change it to porto because it was easier to pronounce for them but it has always been puerto. Not sure what porro means but something tell me they say its porro because they are A-holes and is a despective term that they are using.
