Travel tips for Puerto Rico

  • 1

    Rent a car to explore beyond San Juan—many of the best beaches and attractions like Flamenco Beach on Culebra are spread out.

  • 2

    Visit local *chinchorros* (roadside eateries) for authentic Puerto Rican dishes like mofongo and alcapurrias at a fraction of restaurant prices.

  • 3

    Download offline maps before heading out, as cell service can be spotty in rural areas like the bioluminescent Mosquito Bay.
