Puerto Rico is a small dot in the Caribbean—the whole island takes mere hours to drive through—but its true identity takes months or even years to fully unravel. That said, it is easy to see why Puerto Rico immediately enchants visitors: The diversity of its beautiful coastline is suitable for those who seek peace and those who seek adventure; the cobblestone streets of Old San Juan—lined with colorful houses, museums, and stores—provide a glimpse into the island’s past; the roadside kiosks sell handmade fritters and coconut water; and the island’s many festivals entertain with art and food.
