My new friend in Puerto Rico

last January, I embarked on an unforgettable solo journey to the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. From the vibrant streets of Old San Juan to the tranquil beaches of Fajardo and the hidden paradise of Isla Vieques, my trip was filled with awe-inspiring moments and enriching experiences. Join me as I share the highlights of my adventure and the reasons why Puerto Rico should be on every traveler's bucket list.


Old San Juan: A Tapestry of History and Culture my first stop was the historic district of Old San Juan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As I walked through its cobblestone streets, I couldn't help but be captivated by the colorful colonial architecture, reminiscent of a bygone era. The iconic forts, Castillo San Felipe del Morro and Castillo de San Cristobal, offered breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and a glimpse into Puerto Rico's rich history.


I made my way to Fajardo, a coastal town known for its natural beauty and a gateway to the stunning islands nearby. One of the highlights of my visit was the bioluminescent bay tour, where I witnessed nature's own light show as the water glowed in the dark. It was a truly mesmerizing experience that left me in awe of the wonders of the natural world.


Paradise Found! My final destination was the hidden gem of Isla Vieques, a small island located just off the eastern coast of Puerto Rico. With its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and untouched landscapes, Isla Vieques felt like a true paradise. I spent my days lounging on secluded beaches, snorkeling in vibrant coral reefs, and exploring the island's untouched beauty. The highlight of my time on Vieques was witnessing the breathtaking beauty of Playa Flamenco, often ranked among the world's top beaches. My only companions on this beautiful beach were the friendly wild horses found all throughout the island, it was truly an unforgettable experience.


My solo adventure in Puerto Rico was a truly transformative experience. From the rich history of Old San Juan to the natural wonders of Fajardo and the serene beauty of Isla Vieques, each destination offered its own unique charm. Puerto Rico is a destination that caters to all types of travelers, whether you're seeking history, adventure, or relaxation. I left the island with a renewed sense of wonder and a desire to explore more of the world.


If you're considering a solo trip, I highly recommend Puerto Rico as your next destination.
