On the small island of Vieques, just off the east coast of Puerto Rico, lies the world’s brightest bioluminescent bay! Millions of tiny organisms light up the water at night, making for a spectacle like no other. Have your personal travel planner book you a kayak excursion to Mosquito Bay for an adventure like you’ve never had.
Pretty much the best beach in Puerto Rico (and let’s be honest, one of the best in the world) Flamenco Beach is on the Isle de Culebra, also off the east coast of PR.

Why explore just Puerto Rico when you can explore the universe?! All jokes aside, the Observatorio de Arecibo is a great attraction whether you’re a science geek or not. Check out the exhibits at one of the largest telescopes in the world (and remember: “For England, James”).
Cabo Rojo is the southwest region of Puerto Rico and home to some of the most beautiful scenery in the country. With pretty pink salt flats, two natural reserves, cliffs, wildflowers, and more, it’s also home to one of the most beautiful lighthouses in the US.
Whether you’re a rum fan or not, you’ll want to see the Bacardi Rum Factory during your trip to Puerto Rico. It’s a great attraction for travelers, complete with a tour and free tastings—what’s not to love? Have your travel planner book your tickets in advance to avoid any lines.
