One of the many island nations occupying the Caribbean Sea region, Puerto Rico is one of the larger ones.  

Part of the Greater Antilles Group, Puerto Rico is also its smallest island nation. Itself an archipelago, the island nation contains various large and small islands, called the keys.  

Apart from the main island of Puerto Rico, the other significant ones are Mona, Viegues, Culebra, Desecheo and Caja de Muertos. Other than the main island, only the Culebra and Viegues are inhabited year-round. All the others are basically populated during the tourist season.  

Lying south of the mainland US, with Miami being the nearest US port, some 2000 kilometres away, Puerto Ricans are US citizens by birth. This is due to the reason that their country is an ‘Unincorporated Territory’ of the US Government, meaning that only certain US Government rules and regulations apply to the locals. 

Being in the Caribbean region, Puerto Rico is virtually a tourist paradise. And believe it or not, here, you can literally, travel on a road towards Paradise.  

Puerto Rico offers the best of both worlds – natural, such as scuba diving among some of the worlds richest underwater flora and fauna; as well as urban enjoyment such wonderful local cuisines at roadside cafes, venues for shopping those small exquisite trinkets and various other local cultural elements, which adds a unique local flavour to such visits.
