The ones not to miss

See map below for their locations:

Old San Juan

The walled historic zone of Old San Juan occupies only a seven-square-block area. You wander down narrow cobblestone streets lined with colonial buildings, fine restaurants, lively nightspots, and tourist-oriented shops.

El Morro Fortress

This massive, thick-walled fort is the photo icon of Puerto Rico. El Morro and a companion fort have guarded San Juan and its harbor for centuries.

El Yunque

This national rainforest park is only an hour's drive from San Juan.

Rincon

Advanced surfers gravitate to Rincon to ride its majestic waves. The lifestyle is laid back.

Viequez Island

This satellite island lies just off Puerto Rico's eastern coastline. Be sure to swim at night in its Bioluminescent Bay to experience nature's amazing phosphorescent lightshow. The glow surrounds your body.

Arecibo Radio Telescope

Its receiver dish measures 305 meters (1,000 feet) in diameter.
