PUERTO RICO

The island provides a blend of the best of all worlds - Latin vivaciousness and stateside conveniences, colonial charm and contemporary living, big-city excitement and countryside tranquility. Old San Juan  has more than 300 restored historical sites, monuments and attractions. Only 45 minutes from San Juan is El Yunque, a 28,000-acre rain forests filled with exotic tropical ferns and flowers.Puerto Rico is covered with beautiful mountains and beaches with gently swaying palm trees, idyllic sandy coves, and even has phosphorescent waters.

Puerto Rico is the perfect place to come do nothing at all. Here you'll find some of the world's finest beaches. In all shapes, sizes and colors. Some stretching for miles and miles and miles-ideal for endless hand-in-hand walks. Others cozy and crescent-shaped-just the thing for hiding away. And the soft-as-powder sand comes in white, salt and pepper, gold and coral pink.
