Puerto
Rico Vacation Packages

Carolina near San Juan.

Puerto Rico has all the
benefits of a traditional island vacation with
it’s affiliation to the United
States being clearly visible in many parts
of the country.
Even though the public
transport on the island is not in great
condition, it’s easy to get around on the
island.

You can rent a car or use some other
means of transport and easily consider covering more than one
destination during your visit. A Puerto Rico vacation
package can make this country your playground, so
let’s start planning your trip!
Here are some
sights:
Bacardi Rum
Plant
If you ever had rum in your life, chances
are good it was Bacardi! Although the Bacardi rum story has its
roots in Cuba (and its manufactured across the globe), the
plant in Puerto Rico is actually the largest rum
distillery in the world. Here you can see how they produce this
great drink and get to know the history of Bacardi a little
better. It’s situated near the capital, San
Juan.
Gilligan’s
Island
If you are after a ‘raw’, untouched
island experience, a trip to Gilligan’s Island is just
what the doctor ordered. For the most part the island is
uninhabited and great care has been taken to preserve its
original natural habitat. It’s a great place to relax for the
weekend and go snorkelling and swimming. The island is situated
slightly southwest of Ponce.
Las
Cascadas Aquatic Theme
Park
If you have time to fit this into your
Puerto Rico vacation package, definitely do it! This is
fun for the kids and grown ups. The park is located in
Aquadilla and it’s even worth spending a few days here.
Whatever you decide, the rollercoaster rides and entertainment
of Las Cascadas will surely be fun for everyone.

Naturally if you are
planning a holiday to Puerto Rico, one of your
top priorities will be to relax as much as you
can on the beach.
In Puerto Rico there
is no better place than this but Seven
Seas.
This is a stunning
coastal strip and is situated near Fajardo on
the east coast.
|
Apart
from the obvious opportunity to bask in the glorious sunshine
you can do some snorkelling, windsurfing and other exciting
water sports.
|
If you are a diver you
will be in for a treat during Puerto
Rico vacation packages. It’s a very well
known destination for both scuba diving and
snorkelling.
You may find yourself to
be based near Fajardo, in which case El Diablo
is the place to go (northeast of the coast).
This area consists of quite a few diving sites
and would take you around 35 minutes by boat to
get there.
|
|
This is a
spectacular diving site where you’ll find beautiful coral
and a variety and loads of marine life.
You can either decide to be focussed on
one part of the island, or spread you activities over a larger
area. Regardless, you’re bound the have a good time on your
Puerto Rico vacation.
