Puerto Rico

(1) Best of Puerto Rico

8 days, 7 nights

Overview:
Officially a US territory, but worlds apart from its northern neighbor, Puerto Rico has some serious character. Lush rainforests, stunning mountains and cliffs, tropical beaches and old San Juan make Puerto Rico worth the trip. You’ll scope out the mellow surf town of Rincon, do some yoga on the beach and explore the wilderness of the west coast.

The Basics:
You’ll fly into San Juan and immediately start the scenic drive west to Rincon. Get acclimated and explore the surrounding beaches for 5 nights. Surfing by day and see what the nightlife has to offer. Catch your balance with yoga on the beach or paddle boarding at sea. Take a drive south to Bio Bay or the Red Cliffs. Jump into a lagoon at the San Sebastian waterfalls. End the vacation with two nights to explore the wonders of Old San Juan before returning to reality. You might even run into Johnny Depp filming his next movie in the capital. Tour the famous Bacardi Rum Factory on your way out.

Additional options:
- Take Salsa dance lessons in San Juan.
- Extend your trip to visit the exotic islands of Culebra and Vieques.

Physical difficulty: EASY

I recently traveled to Rincon, Puerto Rico with Croft Global Travel. While in Rincon I learned to surf from a world class instructor and hiked through the jungles of San Sebastian to two different waterfalls where we explored the local wildlife and cliff jumped from the falls. Our guide spoke fluent Spanish and was abl...e to provide a truly unique experience. From tasting the traditional Puerto Rican cuisine to discovering the remote beaches of Rincon, our group experienced what life was really like as a local.

The Puerto Rico trip to Rincon was awesome. The best part about Croft Global Travel is how the trip really goes off the beaten path to explore the lesser known hidden treasures of the destination. Croft Global Travel really goes above and beyond the tourist attractions and brings you to the heart of visiting natural environments.
