It consists of one main island, two smaller inhabited islands, and 140 other uninhabited islands, keys, islets, and atolls. The main island is the smallest and most eastern island of the Greater Antilles. It has roughly 3.2 million residents, though that number has historically decreased yearly due to immigration to the United States.\u00a0Puerto Rico is about the size of the state of Connecticut\u00a0(3,515 sq mi). The island is roughly rectangular in shape, with a length of about 110 miles from east to west and a width of about 35 miles from north to south.\u00a0Puerto Rico&#8217;s terrain ranges from sandy beaches to rugged mountains and dense forests. The island&#8217;s highest peak stands at 4,390 ft above sea level.<\/p><p>Puerto Rico has a tropical climate, with the temperature hovering\u00a0around 80\u00ba F throughout the year. The ocean&#8217;s water temperature remains relatively consistent throughout the year, between 75-85\u00b0F. The Caribbean Sea is a few degrees warmer than the Atlantic Ocean.\u00a0<span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-size: 1rem;\">La infraestructura cr\u00edtica de la isla est\u00e1 obsoleta, no cuenta con fondos suficientes y, a menudo, est\u00e1 da\u00f1ada.

I lived in Puerto Rico with my wife Indi for 2.5 years. We moved to Caguas for her graduate program and instantly fell in love with the island.&nbsp;We lived in a small, lovely home perched on the side of a mountain with a beautiful view. I will leave the intro I wrote when I first created this website stand in the present tense, changing it to the past tense hurts too much:<\/p>\n<p>A small red and white house lies hidden down a small country road being eroded by iguana burrows. By day you can see lush, green mountains extend around a small valley. A river, whose banks swell and recede with the rainfall, cuts a path between the verdant walls.&nbsp;A short ride on my moped takes me to a small waterfall that flows into a round pool where green herons fish and locals cool off. By night, a giant white cross on the hill just below us lights up. It was once clearly visible from our driveway, but over time trees have grown up to hide it from view. On Wednesday and Sunday, the sound of the church\u2019s hymns can be heard from our porch. The night comes alive with the sound of frogs and insects and the occasional Puerto Rican screech owl. House geckos crawl around our house\u2019s exterior (and interior) to hunt bugs drawn by the light of our home. The occasional firefly blinks in and out of sight, sometimes making it inside the house before I catch and release it outside. I feel lucky every day to live here and do my best to never take it for granted.<\/p>\n<p>We love exploring the island and since moving here, have done and seen a lot. I take my drone and GoPro with me often to capture our adventures. My Google Maps is a messy mix of pins marking where I want to visit and where I have already been. The best adventure is always the next one. We have played the part of tour guide for friends and family on numerous occasions, crafting itineraries for each. After a while, I decided to put together a travel guide building off of the itineraries and videos I&#8217;ve created. What started as a Google Doc, grew into this website. I hope you find my Puerto Rican travel experience useful in planning your next visit!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

rating on a scale of 0-5 stars. This is my evaluation of how everything you could possibly do in Puerto Rico compares with alternatives. In other words, 5 stars rank as one of the best places you could visit on your trip. Likewise, 1 star means there are better alternatives. However, Puerto Rico is full of many amazing things to see. So, a 1-star rating doesn&#8217;t mean the place isn&#8217;t beautiful or worth seeing. On the contrary, if it made it on my website, it&#8217;s worth visiting. I hope the stars will give you a general guide to how you might prioritize your time in deciding what to fit into your visit to the island.&nbsp;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff81ef2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"ff81ef2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f079bdb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f079bdb\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-000cbec\" data-id=\"000cbec\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-333214f elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"333214f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=zu3FyX078T8&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e357af1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"e357af1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to Puerto Rico Welcome to Puerto Rico, the island of enchantment, a tropical paradise in the Caribbean.
