Puerto Rico - Holiday

Puerto Rico is a great place to spend your holiday.

Puerto Rico has a tropical marine climate with regular temparature of 26°C (80°F). During most of the year Puerto Rico enjoys warm and sunny days. Puerto Rico is located in the path of tropical hurricanes which threaten the island during the hurricane season which runs from June through November each year and peaks around the middle of September.

You will never be bored in Puerto Rico. You can visit many exciting places and there are a lot of activities to do.

San Juan
San Juan, founded in the 16th century, is a spirited modern city with high-rise beach strips and a justly famous colonial core. It is the engine of the island's economic and political life.

Ponce
Half a billion dollars have been spent in preserving the colonial core of Puerto Rico's second city. The center of Ponce dates from the late 17th century and has been declared a national treasure.

Río Camuy Cave Park
This jagged karst region in the northeast of Puerto Rico is littered with sinkholes and surreal limestone formations, making it prime spelunking territory. More than 200 caves have been discovered in the region. The Camuy River is one of the largest subterranean rivers in the world.

Arecibo Observatory
Hidden in the gorgeous backroads of northwestern Puerto Rico is the largest single-dish radio telescope in the world. It is an impressive 305m (1000ft) in diameter and covering about 20 acres (8ha). The observatory is recognised as one of the world's most important research facilities. There's an excellent interactive science and space museum on site.

Bosque Estatal de Guánica
Before exploring this marvelous park be sure to get some maps at the ranger station. You can take a half-hour hike to a beach through three different kinds of forests, tramping the coast until you find a secluded cove for sunning yourself, before hiking back to your car by a different trail.

Plaza Las Delicias
The 'Plaza of Delights' is the quintessential Spanish-colonial plaza. During daytime the square is filled with strolling shoppers, children playing and groups of elderly men enjoying a quiet game of dominoes under shade trees. The plaza is at its best at night, when violet and pink lights dance in the waters of the Fountain of Lions.
