In this article, we'll explore the enchanting beauty and vibrant culture of Puerto Rico, from its stunning landscapes to its rich history and unique traditions. Join us as we embark on a journey to this tropical paradise.Tropical Paradise: Puerto Rico is blessed with stunning natural landscapes that will leave you in awe. Picture yourself lounging on pristine white sandy beaches, basking in the warm Caribbean sun, and taking a refreshing dip in crystal-clear turquoise waters. Whether you choose to visit the popular resort areas of Condado and Isla Verde or venture off the beaten path to hidden gems like Flamenco Beach in Culebra or Playa Sucia in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico's beaches are a true tropical paradise. El Yunque Rainforest: Immerse yourself in the lush greenery of El Yunque, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System.

Dive into the island's past at museums like the Museo de Las Américas and the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico, where you can admire local artwork and learn about the island's heritage.Vibrant Arts and Music Scene: Puerto Rico is a hub of creativity and artistic expression. From vibrant street art in Santurce to world-class museums and galleries, the island celebrates its rich artistic traditions. Experience the lively rhythms of salsa, bomba, and plena, and join the locals in spontaneous dance parties known as "parrandas." The colorful festivals, such as the famous San Sebastián Street Festival in Old San Juan, showcase the island's infectious energy and passion for music and dance.Culinary Delights: Puerto Rican cuisine is a tantalizing fusion of flavors influenced by its diverse cultural heritage. Indulge in traditional dishes like mofongo (mashed plantains), arroz con gandules (rice with pigeon peas), and lechón asado (roast pig).

From street food to fine dining, Puerto Rico's culinary scene is sure to delight food enthusiasts.Outdoor Adventures: For adventure seekers, Puerto Rico offers a plethora of outdoor activities. Embark on a thrilling zipline tour through the lush forests, go hiking in the karst region of the Camuy Caves, or kayak through the bioluminescent waters of Mosquito Bay in Vieques, where the water glows with an otherworldly blue light. With its diverse ecosystems and breathtaking landscapes, Puerto Rico is a playground for outdoor enthusiasts.Warm Hospitality: Puerto Ricans, known as "Boricuas," are renowned for their warm and welcoming nature.

South African Safari Bucket List Adventure
A friend referred us to Sally to book a trip to South Africa. We did a lot of research on the internet and were confused of exactly where to go and what to do. Sally listened to what we wanted and a few days later she sent us an itinerary that "knocked our socks off".
