What to do in puerto rico?

Question

what to do in puerto rico. we are stopping ther for a day and trying to find a fun little excursion to do for my teenagers? any ideas

Answer 1

Yes Culebra is too far. If you are stopping just for the day then you want to check out Old San Juan. See El Morro, an ancient 6 story war fort by the ocean, its a must see. You might even want to take a walking tour, I think they are about 2-3 hours. They will show you all the historical sights including cathedrals & the governors mansion, etc. Old San Juan has old world charm with cobblestone streets & spanish architecture. Just walk & enjoy. They are cool boutiques & artisan shops all around. Also stop at a good authentic puerto rican restaraunt & try some local cuisine, its delicous. If you have a few hours to spare you can rent a car & drive 45 mins to El Yunque rain forest where you can walk trails & swim in waterfalls. & if you are there at night then check out Las Croabas bioluminescent bay. Otherwise, like I said stay in Old San Juan, everyone will have fun & you can take taxi's. Enjoy!

Answer 2

What to do If it's your first visit you have to go to the Forts in Old San Juan. The bigger is called El Morro and the little one San Cristobal, in here you can find La Garita Del Diablo (Devil's Guerite) where two lovers disappeared when Spain ruled San Juan, as the legend says. In Old San Juan you have to try the Piraguas, puerto rican snow cones, try the frambuesa flavor, and the ultra cool limbers in front of La Rogativa Statue. El Nuyorican Cafe offers salsa and rumba lessons every weekend. If you are staying in Condado you are within walking distance of Old San Juan, but is a long walk, a taxi can take you there in five minutes but if you choose to walk, and you're going straight, with the ocean to your right, you will pass a surfers beach called La Ocho and in front is a place called El Hamburger, best hamburgers in Puerto Rico, beware of the sneaking, ever hungry changos. Condado is more upscale. Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Cartier are there enticing the window shoppers. There's a couple of open plazas to the ocean where you can have a drink and enjoy the view. You can go kayaking in the Condado Lagoon and if you like trendy restaurants and good looking people you can go Buddatai for drinks. In Old San Juan, the south of Fortaleza street has been renamed SoFo, where trendy restaurants, like Dragon Fly and Agua Viva, and good looking people also inhabit. Next To Condado, and before getting to Isla Verde is Ocean Park, one of my favorite San Juan hangouts. Ocean Park is mainly a residential area but a couple of small hotels have surface during the recent years. Ocean Park beach is famous and can get a little crowded. Just around the exit/entrance to the beach is Pinky's, seven dollars sandwiches and cool smoothies. Cool people, professional hippies live here. Also you can get a real breakfast in Kasalta, good coffee and pastries. Ocean Park is also home to many Kite and Wind surfers. The airport is in Isla Verde. Big Name hotels like the Ritz and El San Juan Hotel = Expensive restaurants and nice Casinos. Good long, sandy beaches. Couple of nightclubs and touristy bars along Isla Verde Ave. If you have time to work out, rent a bicycle or bike and ride towards Pinones, great virgin beaches. If you want to dare, try Cuchifritos, puerto rican fried food, go to los kioskos de Pinones, really loud music and tasty food. For good music and chill atmosphere visit Bamboobei, right at the beach, also in Pinones, for more upscale and trendy drinks go to Wet, at Water Club, Isla Verde. For Pizza visit El Conde on top of Vela Uno Surf Shop, in Punta Las Marias, be patient and wait, it's a good pizza.

Answer 3

Head to the western part of the island and spend time in Rincon. It's about 1/2 the cost of the San Juan area and there are a TON of things to do and places to go!!! I'd recommend the beaches at Cabo Rojo and visiting Las Marias (15 miles east of Rincon) and check out the old coffee plantations!

Answer 4

Go to Culebra to see Flamengo Beach, or go to the rainforest.
