Puerto Rico is home to major attractions such as delicious food, exuberant nature and rich culture. But this Caribbean island is also synonymous with active tourism. Challenge yourself and experience it.
Food and drink
Food is an essential part of Puerto Rican culture, combining Spanish, African and Taino influences. The crunchy texture of bacalaítos (cod fritters), the colour of mofongo, the flavour of arroz con gandules (rice with pigeon peas), and the freshness of seafood create a memorable experience. Puerto Rico is also the birthplace of icons such as the piña colada and traditions such as coquito. You should savour iconic dishes such as mofongo, tostones, roast pork, pasteles and delicious rice with beans.
Adventure and nature
Adventure and nature intertwine in a vivid experience: you can hear the waterfalls of El Yunke, feel the freshness of the tropical forest, or marvel at the breathtaking views from Cueva Ventana. Puerto Rico has an incomparable geographical diversity.
Moreover, if you’re passionate about adventure, you can surf or jet ski on turquoise waves, go snorkelling, dive in crystal-clear waters, or paddle out to the open sea to enjoy a day of deep-sea fishing.
Culture, art and music
Puerto Rico vibrates in every artistic expression. It's the cradle of musical genres like bomba, plena, salsa and reggaeton, while the Santurce district is home to fascinating museums, art galleries and street art. And if you want to bring home a slice of the island, you can explore everything from world-class shopping centres to local boutiques where Boricua design and identity come to life.
