Native from PR that worked in Tourism for 5 years -just follow these steps: 1. Rent a car. Can’t get anywhere without one. 2. Best food is inland. Old San Juan and Isla Verde restaurants are tourists traps and too expensive. Take the rented car and go to the mountains. That’s where the good stuff is. 3. Best beaches are in the West. But do be careful and watch for rip tides. 4. Never ever go swimming when raining. 5. Stay away from La Perla. 6. Never ever ever leave anything in the car. Always take all your stuff or make sure you get a sedan and put it in the truck. You’ll thank me.

As a local, I can say Wolter you have done a great job summarizing the factors that make Puerto Rico one of the best tourist destinations in the world. To add if you are looking for amenities found in major cities stay close to San Juan and it’s metropolitan area. Though if you are looking for a more private getaway there is Rincon, Cabo Rojo, Luquillo and the eastern islands(Vieques and Culebra). PS San Juan is more than Old San Juan. Just like New York is more than just Manhattan.

If your goal is to get in touch with the spirit of Puerto Rico, and experience the music culture and be apart of the events like Bomba, Musica Jibara would Cabo Rojo be the best place of these or are the others good too. Something about that really speaks to me personally.

@@SaltedMallows Cabo Rojo was founded in the 18th Century. It’s not a major city, it wasn’t a slave enclave. It’s just a tourist destination and a major gay meeting spot. How could it reflect the spirit and soul of Puerto Rico. When it’s a hollow destination. A tourist trap. You need to figure out what it means to be Puertorrican. Clearly you have no idea.

Beaches amazing, with Palms and indigo water colour. Best snorkelling experience I’ve ever had. Unique nature with mountains and ocean shore. Night kayaking in the lagoon connected with the Atlantic.

I went to Puerto Rico in August for our honeymoon (risky time to go but we were lucky). The Spanish was hard for me to understand, as I've only been exposed to Spanish in Arizona! We started our trip at Vieques --> Culebra --> Aguadilla --> San Juan. After spending time in smaller towns, San Juan felt too big and busy lol. I'd also recommend renting a 4x4 on all the islands. We ended up with a car on the mainland and it barely made it up the hills to pork highway! A local came to help push our car lol Also, the pot holes were HUGE! And sometimes lanes would randomly end on the highway lol. We took the ferry once and the rest of the time used the small planes. The planes are so convenient and worth the price! Every single area had amazing food and great drinks! From road stalls to fine dining. We were in Puerto Rico for 12 days, and it still wasn't enough time! Great video, very on point! I can't wait to go back again and travel some new areas someday!

Here are some of the Puerto Rican best delicious foods to order: 1. Lechon Asado with Rice and Beans and Avocado Salad 2. Bacalaitos (fried Cod Fish) 3. Alcapurrias 4. Mofongo (mashed plantains that can have pork, chicken or other stuff) 5. Mojito Cocktail 6. Coco Ice (shaved ice with coco liquid poured over it) You will love it after a few hours in the sun 7. Arroz Con Gandules with Shrimp and Chorizo meat inside the rice. It's like the Spain Paella of Puerto Rico 8. Fried Fish or Octopus Salad with fresh squeezed lemon and garlic sauce served with Yucca (a white soft vegetable) 9. Sancocho (it's a hearty soup with potatos, meat and more) but dense with flavor !! 10. Carne Guisada (Latin Beef Stew) 11. Ox Tail Soup 12 Empanadas (similar to Jamaican Beef Patties) but not spicy 13. Pasteles 14. Pinchos De Pollo (chicken kabobs on a stick) 15. Pina Colada (delicious drink) may contain alcohol There are many more P.R. dishes. But, these are the most delicious.

To me, Puerto Rico reminds me of New Orleans in the sense that they both have this very mixed, colonial history. But whereas New Orleans has lost a lot of its French culture, for Puerto Rico there is this really "alive" American-Spanish mix that's really special.

Tip: If renting a car, rent from the companies at the airport not the off site with shuttle. Also, pay for the toll pass if driving around the island. Some of the off site companies have horrible service and you're stuck at their mercy. Spent over an hour picking up a car that I had reserved. It was dirty and mangled. They insisted that it was all they had during the pandemic.

Enjoy the travel videos. To be honest most I will never visit but I was brought there by your video. We have visited PR. Worth visiting, memorable trip, and as a US citizen it opened my eyes to our relationship and history together. While you used the term "coming from the US" a few times, it is a duel country. Meaning it is PR and US. Talking to residents more than once I heard how they were familiar with an area of the US mainland while in the military. Proud US veterans for over a hundred years. Hope to visit again.

Omg,I grew up in Puerto Rico. And he really hits on his Puerto Rico functions. Now, you wanna experience what you're getting. I grew up with Spanish speaking everyone. And yes. We love when people try to speak Spanish.

I’ve been to San Juan and that was enough to take up a week and a half worth of trip! It’s beyond beautiful and you MUST hit up a beach. I would also advise to rent a car or stay close to places you want to visit.

Wow, great video! Thank you for the tip about the 3 bio bays! I only knew about Mosquito Bay! Apparently it also sometimes occurs in San Diego. I didn't know pina coladas are from Puerto Rico! That's my favorite drink ever!

What's funny is I always had better cell service in PR. I assumed it was because in NYC, there were too many phones competing for the towers lol...idk but when I was in PR I had more bars and better connections...also this video just made me so nostalgic! Definitely need to visit soon.

Playa Flamenco on Culebra is fantastic. You can take a flight from San Juan or drive to Ceiba and take a ferry. It is doable as a day trip from San Juan and totally worth it. Try a tripleta, it's a delicious sandwich.

@@giovannitirado6229 A year ago, deep at night, we drove up there to Finca Candelas - and met an oncoming group of Caballeros/horse riders without any single light or reflective spot - nothing visible in them - on a very twisty and narrow road. It is still one of the strongest impressions of the visit. Also, there was a really nice cheap simple eatery there with great mountain views. I returned yesterday from 3rd trip there. Thought about El Toro for this time, but we were unprepared.

You seem to have a good set of videos, I should look more closely, especially at those about Arizona: I have some memories of camping there (while trying to find a non-private land - we managed to find some forest near Williams, I think).

Do the Ruta de Lechon. It's a beautiful drive. Make sure you get some arroz con gandules too. If you like empanadas and/or plantains, try alcapurrias. I highly recommend you go to the kioskos in Luquillo to get them and then go to the far end of the beach away from the crowds and enjoy they bay. Luquillo is my favorite beach that's close-ish to San Juan. Disfruta!

I was raised in Luquillo you have 4 different beaches there El monsserate and the kiosks are there, Playa Azul, la pared and then a farther beach from LA pared. Please, people, if you go, don't swim in LA pared that is for the surfers. Another thing people love to sing and dancing. Have fun .great video.
