Puerto Rico

No honeymoon island in the Caribbean has as deep Spanish history as Puerto Rico. Old San Juan’s attractions are endless: restored 16th-century buildings, museums, art galleries, bookstores, 200 year old houses. Puerto Rico, 100 miles long and 35 miles wide, discovered by the Spanish who built massive city walls and two fortresses to protect against British, French and Dutch adversaries. Narrow cobblestone streets, discreet alleyways, hidden courtyards and a number of public squares, so typical of European cities, are all part of Old San Juan. One of the most exhilarating day trips is a visit to El Yunque. This rain forest is 28,000 acres, blanketed with thick green vegetation that extends upward, covering its mountains and peaks. It’s home to tropical trees, flowers and wildlife. A popular walking and hiking trail in El Yunque includes the rugged El Toro. Many trails lead to cascading waterfalls. Other sights include Camuy Cave Park and the historic city of Ponce with its blend of neo-classical, art deco and creole architecture.

You’ll find the finest beaches in Puerto Rico, lined with swaying palm trees and sand coves that offer privacy. Swimming is a favorite pastime, but the more adventurous may prefer snorkeling, scuba diving and water-skiing. Puerto Rico also has ideal conditions for windsurfing. A number of international competitions have been held on the island. Golfers can choose from an array of championship courses. For those who enjoy good food, San Juan boasts some of the finest restaurants in the Caribbean, a nice mix of Creole, Spanish and native Indian influences. Puerto Rico never sleeps. A number of larger resorts have casinos. There are also discos and nightclubs that offer contemporary music, Latino revues, flamingo dancers and piano bars. Whatever you want your honeymoon to be...you have the choice in Puerto Rico.
