9 best places to visit in Puerto Rico
27.10.2023 - 12:57 / lonelyplanet.com
Puerto Rico is one of those places that just keeps on giving – visit popular spots and well-known historical monuments the first time, and then come back for the hidden gems that require a little bit of research, a rental car and getting to know the residents of this beautiful archipelago.
There are at least 300 miles of coastline, and going from one end of the island to the other will let you see different microclimates, from tropical rainforest to desert heat.
If you’re into urban exploring, San Juan has a vibrant museum and arts scene, and nights in the capital can take you from the beach to the speakeasies in Santurce. Rent a car and take a trip through these must-see spots on the island of Puerto Rico.
There are plenty of amazing places to visit in this municipality, and if you start your trip in Piñones, you can cruise the kiosk strip and buy delectable fritters, like our famous empanadillas de jueyes (crab empanadas) and the plantain-and-ground-beef delicacy pionono. El Boricua is a favorite, but head there early as lines can snake around the establishment.
Then head over to El Imán Bar to listen to live bomba music and watch the bailaores execute increasingly difficult moves to satisfy the drummers and the crowd.
Local tip: Bomba gatherings are informal and sometimes impromptu. To get a sense of the times and days for activities available in the area, it’s best to check out Corporación Piñones Se Integra, a nonprofit community-based organization in Loíza tasked with preserving the town’s traditional history.
The ubiquity of Medalla advertisements in Puerto Rico may make you think it’s the only beer on the island worth trying. Don’t get me wrong: it’s truly the best local light beer, and at USD$2 to $5, the price point is unbeatable.
However, in the last 15 years the island has slowly become a Caribbean haven for craft-beer lovers. Local breweries use old European and new American techniques to create beers with flavors unique to the island, like passion fruit, quenépa and mango.
In Isla Verde, you can visit Ocean Lab Brewing Co and drink beers on tap, like the crisp Mayawest lager and the Mambo passion-fruit wheat beer. Boquerón Brewing Co, in the beach town of Cabo Rojo, has some excellent fruity experimental beers and ales. For a super-unique sip, take a trip South to Señorial Brewing Co in Ponce for their elusive quenépa fruit beer.
The San Juan neighborhood of Santurce is undeniably a meeting place for artists, muralists and creatives, due to its central location and its historical ties to music and culture. It’s also the place where the Santurce es Ley festival is celebrated – a street party where top muralists from Puerto Rico and around the world are invited to spruce up old and new
