WHERE TO GO IN PUERTO RICO
Puerto Rico is where the easygoing Caribbean collides with the slick efficiency of modern America over syncopated Latin rhythms and rose-tinted tropical sunsets. The result is a colorful, diverse and culturally unique island that is often as confusing as it is cosmopolitan.
Hip, funky restaurants nestle next to 15th-century Spanish forts; sprawling concrete shopping malls encroach upon the fecund tropical rainforests; and glitzy casinos lie juxtaposed against some of the most stunning beaches, caves and offshore coral reefs in the Caribbean.
NEW PUERTO RICO FERRY CROSSINGS
Puerto Rico is adding a new ferry for the first time in nearly two decades to the route that runs from Old San Juan to Catano, site of the island’s famous Bacardi rum factory.
The launch of the air-conditioned boat that can carry 149 passengers comes at the start of the high tourist season for the U.S. Caribbean territory.
