What to know before you go
POPULATION
With about 3.25 million residents, Puerto Rico ranks as the fourth most populated island in the Caribbean. More than three-quarters of its population lives in the capital, San Juan, and the surrounding metropolitan area. Speaking of...
CAPITAL
The sturdy, steady presence of the 16th-century Castillo San Felipe del Morro underscores San Juan’s importance to Spanish imperial ambitions, while the flashy murals of the Santurce district show a city at ease in modernity. All in all, the island’s capital is an era-transcending playground—no tour in Puerto Rico is complete without a stop there.
CULTURAL QUICK TAKE
Central to Puerto Rican identity, the term “boricua” applies to anyone with ties to the island, whether by birth or descent. But a look through history reveals just how deep its roots go. Long before the Spanish arrived (almost 1,000 years prior), Puerto Rico was inhabited by the Indigenous Taino people, who dubbed their island home Boriken—which would eventually morph into “boricua.”
WHAT TO GO FOR
Candy-colored colonial buildings dot Old San Juan, while golden grains of sand stretch endlessly in either direction on the beaches of the Rio Grande Coast. Venture inland, and you’ll encounter the wilds of El Yunque—the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System. Whatever your reason for going on tour in Puerto Rico, you’ll leave satisfied.
UNIQUE EXPERIENCES ON TOUR
Scale Yokahu Tower for sweeping views over El Yunque, step through the fortified corridors of the Castillo San Felipe del Morro, go on a self-guided quest for the best cafecito (or coffee) in Ponce, and more.
