A quick 2 1/2-hour flight from Miami, Puerto Rico is an intoxicating blend of Spanish, Indian, and African influences, all melded into a tropical atmosphere of beaches, rainforest, and a fast-growing element of luxury. Whether you're exploring the time capsule of Old San Juan, the posh designer boutiques of Condado, the beach towns on the island's southern and eastern coasts, or the pristine jungle of El Yunque, Puerto Rico's distinct culture and lively spirit is never far from sight.

Be cautious-our 20 yr old son was robbed at gunpoint in the tourist area at 8pm in front of a restaurant. Thank goodness they only took his money and phone and not his life!
