⚠️ Wichtige Reisetipps Puerto Rico
Eat Mofongo
The national dish. It's mashed fried green plantains stuffed with garlic and usually pork, shrimp, or chicken. You must eat it at least once.
Time the Bio-Bays
If you visit the bioluminescent bays, plan your trip around the New Moon (when the sky is darkest). A full moon ruins the glowing effect.
Rent a Car
San Juan is great, but the real beauty of Puerto Rico lies in El Yunque rainforest, the caves in the north, and the beaches in the west. You need a car.
Dance in La Placita
La Placita de Santurce is a farmer's market by day, but after 9 PM it turns into a massive, vibrant, outdoor salsa-dancing street party.
