Puerto Rico / Special Interests

By Jane Anderson

This Spanish speaking island is one of the liveliest and most developed places in the Caribbean. Puerto Rico should be top of your list if you want to experience lively Latin culture in a Caribbean setting, with more than a dash of Americana thrown in. There is great salsa music and dancing, local art and colonial history as well as many natural attractions from rainforest and national parks to beaches and scuba diving. If your special interest is getting away from it all, then head to the smaller islands of Vieques and Culebra.
