Puerto Rico: Exploring the Rich Port

I would rather own little & see the world, than own the world & see little of it.

This is my first time in Puerto Rico and all I can say is: <sigh>. This place is incredible. This was my first time going on a trip for the express purpose of relaxing by the beach and not exploring a new culture or history. I got so much more than that. San Juan, PR is a beautiful city with a tremendous balance of nature, history, beach and city.

Here is my itinerary from the trip (complete with short reviews)

Day 1:

arrive in PR

explore downtown Old San Juan (southern half)

(walk down Fortaleza St, San Francisco St, and Calle de la Princesa)

Dinner @ Punto de Vista (amazing)

Day 2:

Explore El Yunque National Rainforest

(Yokahu Tower, La Mina Falls)

Lunch in Luquillo Beach @ La Parilla (really good, kinda pricey, seafood)

Day 3:
