Puerto Rico 

Picture this: turquoise water lapping at silky sand, salsa music spilling out of colorful cafes, and rainforests teeming with life. That's Puerto Rico, also known as "Island of Enchantment" (and for good reason!). But here's the cool thing: it's not all just beaches (although they are seriously amazing).

This guide will be your partner in crime, showing you the best eats, hidden gems, and unforgettable experiences this vibrant island has to offer.

Here's why you'll love Puerto Rico: it's got everything from salsa-dancing nights in Old San Juan to rainforest hikes and epic watersports. But the real magic lies with the Boricuas, the Puerto Rican people. They're known for their warmth, their love of life, and their ability to throw one heck of a party.

Welcome to the beautiful island of Puerto Rico 🇵🇷! There are so many amazing things to see, do and eat on the island, but here is a suggested itinerary if this is your first time visiting. 

Being married to a local, I am blessed to get to experience this place with him and I've learned what are things that might be super popular with tourist but is a total skip for locals.  

In this guide, I mixed both sides of the coin:

I also go over accommodations options and how to get around the island. 🚗
