One week in Puerto Rico!
Best time to travel:
Puerto Rico is warm all year round. However, there is a hurricane season to consider. The best time to travel is between November - May. My personal favorite months of the year are March and April. That said, you can travel during low season if you are looking for prices to drop on flights and hotels (particularly September-October). However, keep an open mind that it is a tropical island located in an area of the Caribbean that is very propense to tropical storms and hurricanes between June-October. If there is not an announced storm during your stay those months, passing rain is not uncommon. During this, or any part of the year, it is best not to rely solely on the general weather pronostics to go on with your plans. There are many different parts of the island and while it may be raining in San Juan, Rio Grande might not be raining. Go with the flow!
Getting Around:
Puerto Rico doesn't have a good bus system, nor a metro or train. You can get around in the metropolitan area via Uber or taxis. To get to tourist sites outside the Metro area, you can purchase tours that include transportation from your hotel or one close to your airbnb. Personally, renting a car is the way to go! TIP: Be mindful on which company to choose, would recommend Target car rental, Enterprise, Charlie, Budget or any popular brand name rentals. Please, AVOID Payless or Usave at all costs!!
