FAQs: Puerto Rico
What should I know about Puerto Rico?
The former Spanish colony turned U.S. protectorate is best known for its incredible beaches. However, there are plenty of other incredible outdoor adventures just inland from the coast.
Rock climbing – whether it is at Cerro las Tetas, the longest climb in the country, or on the limestone cliffs overlooking the beach at Quebradillas – may be the island’s most popular activity, but it is far from the only one.
Hiking is also quite popular. Cerro de Punta (1,338 meters) is the highest point on the island and a popular hiking location. It takes a half-day to get up to the summit of the peak and the views out over the island are immaculate.
El Yunque Peak, in the heart of the national forest of the same name, is also an excellent hiking destination. Heading to the 1,000-meter high summit is a great way to experience the island;s tropical rainforests and get a chance to see the native wildlife.
The forest also boasts a zipline as well as various spots for canyoning along the river that runs through the heart of the park.
