The Best of Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico sits pretty in the centre of the Caribbean Islands, between the Dominican Republic and British Virgin Islands. With warm and tropical weather throughout the year and 300 miles of coastline and almost the same number of beaches, it could prove to be your perfect excuse to sit back and relax. For those that need more to do and explore on your trip, Puerto Rico does not disappoint, from the historic capital city of San Juan to El Yunque, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. Since the island is a U.S territory, getting here is incredibly easy and driving here is the same as driving on the roads and highways of the continental states.
**Puerto Rico, or any of our beach destinations, can also be added as a short break at the beginning or end of any of our other fly-drive itineraries.
