Puerto Rico is a plece where the Caribbean collides with modern America over Latin rhythms and rose-tinted tropical sunsets – the result is a colorful and culturally unique island that is both confusing and cosmopolitan. Racing into our century, contemporary Puerto Rico can sometimes present a bewildering picture to culture-seeking visitors. Outdoor enthusiasts will find the opportunity to visit rare and wild Isla Mona, Bosque Estatal de Carite in the central mountains, or attend Puerto Rico’s sattelite – the island of Culebra, or beautiful island of Vieques. On the south coast, Ponce, with its museums and Spanish colonial buildings, combines an easygoing atmosphere for family-travellers, and nightlife of reggae and salsa for the young.
