Top 5 things to do...

Surf’s up. Catch some legendary waves on the western region of the island and enjoy some of the best sunsets the Caribbean has to offer.
Go wild, literally. Visit El Yunque, the only subtropical rainforest in the United States. Its waterfalls, hiking trails, and panoramic vistas are a nature lover’s wonderland.
See a natural light show. Just six miles off the coast, the island of Vieques is home to the world's brightest bioluminescent bay.
Soak up the culture and art of the south. Immerse yourself in colourful architecture, history and vibrant feel.
Go on a food tour. When you taste the grub on offer here, you’ll soon realise there’s so much more than beans and rice. And of course, it’d be rude not to try some of the local rum.
