Places to go in Puerto Rico
 

Going to PR for a 3 day weekend, would like to spend as much time as possible hiking and avoiding touristy crap. Ideas?

If you're landing in San Juan, you're going to be smack dab in the middle of the tourist trap so Besides El Yunque Rainforest, which is maybe 40 minute drive away, you'll be jammed with traffic....

But if you do go to the El Yunque Rainforest....Go to the waterfalls.....then when you get back to main road #3, make a right and go a couple minutes and hang out at Luquillo beach....Sunday is the best day to go to the beach and that's the most popular and peaceful one....

Ah, just thinking about it brings me back to the good ole days of living in Puerto Rico.

Or skip all of that shit and when you rent your car in San Juan, drive three hours to the west coast and you'll have a great time.....Focus your time in a town called Aguada which means "Give Water" in Spanish and the next town over, Rincon, the laid back american surfer type spot...It's a wonderful place and not touristy at all like you're going to get in San Juan...

I have a favorite little hotel that I stay at when I was on the West Coast.........Damn I miss it.....I woke up and walked out of my balcony to this every morning...

More pics and my story of my visit there way back then can be found at.

I'm just now noticing that you're in New York....That means that you can get a Jet Blue flight straight into Aguadilla on the West coast of PR for cheapy....

I'd get on it if I were you.

Puerto Rico - hot beach :)

Thanks man, those pics are awesome, I gotta find that chicken truck. My tickets are already booked but maybe I'll rent a car and drive over there.

Stay away from Guyanilla and Ponce. It's the dirty poor part
