Puerto Rico is a paradox:

Historic yet modern, Exotic yet familiar, Exciting yet relaxing.

Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the United States, therefore no passports or visas are necessary. US citizens may travel freely in and out of the island without going through immigration or customs. Foreign citizens have the same requirements as for entering the US. The Puerto Rico Convention can assist with expediting visas.

Old-World Charm and New-World Élan

This extraordinary blend of characteristics makes Puerto Rico the most unique of all Caribbean islands and adds up to a delightful, unforgettable tropical experience.

With over 500 years of Spanish, Indian and African influence, Puerto Rico is proud of a cultural legacy unparalleled in the Caribbean.


Pristine beaches and cobblestone streets, tropical rainforests and sophisticated urban centers, historical cities and high-tech services, glittering nightlife and sun-drenched days, old-world charm and new-world élan.

The cuisines of the world can be found in Puerto Rico, from native fare (a mix of Spanish, Creole and Indian influence) to the cuisines of Europe and Asia, you’ll find sophisticated restaurants in abundance. Entertainment options are virtually unlimited, with a wide range of cultural activities, casinos, nightclubs and performing arts.

A true sports paradise with mountain hiking, cave exploration, scuba diving, deep-sea fishing, windsurfing, golf, tennis and snorkeling – and a year-round tropical climate to enjoy them in.
