Puerto Rico
On our list of Top 5 Destinations that Don’t Require a Passport: Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico is one of the biggest islands in the Caribbean, and it has much more to offer than rain forests. It also has caves, mountains, coral reefs and white-sand beaches.
The sounds of Puerto Rico’s El Yunque National Forest will no doubt draw visitors—giggling children running by, tree frogs croaking, and the rustle of the leafy canopy. What’s more, the rain forest is close enough to San Juan for a day trip.
Puerto Rico visitors will also find that the country is quite modernized. San Juan, a large city, offers glamorous resorts, hotels and casinos and has a busy business district, as well as the largest and most technically advanced convention center in the Caribbean.
San Juan also has one of Latin America’s most impressive colonial areas. Such a combination of natural beauty and urban attractions is part of the reason Puerto Rico is so popular with tourists.
Puerto Rico lies 995 mi/1,600 km southeast of Miami. It’s actually several islands. The largest, also named Puerto Rico, is rectangular in shape and about 110 mi/177 km long by 35 mi/56 km wide. Its terrain is among the most varied in the region—rugged mountains rise in the middle, quiet beaches edge the northern and eastern shores (which are lapped by the Atlantic Ocean), and in parts of the southwest, beaches give way to steep cliffs that plummet into the Caribbean Sea.
