About Puerto Rico<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Officially the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico is as beautiful as it is diverse, cultural, and historical. The history of Puerto Rico goes back over 4,000 years, including significant settlements by the Taino people starting the 7th century. Over 800 years later, Christopher Columbus was the first European explorer to discover the island, turning it into a colony that the Spanish would rule until 1898. Following the Spanish-American War, the Spanish ceded the island to the United States. By 1917, the United States officially declared that all Puerto Ricans were U.S. citizens\u2014an edict that remains to the present day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the most amazing aspect of Puerto Rico is that its unique history is still preserved throughout the country. Take a stroll in Old San Juan to view the colorful buildings, which are over 300 years old. Or go back further in time by walking the walls of Castillo San Felipe del Morro\u2014a citadel built in the 16th century. If you’re not a history buff, Puerto Rico offers plenty of other entertainment options. Soak in a game with baseball-crazed Puerto Ricans at Hiram Bithorn Stadium. Or try a bite of mofongo\u2014the Puerto Rican national dish made with mashed plantains, garlic, salt, and seasoned pork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the more adventurous person, Puerto Rico has even more allure. Hike through El Yunque National Forest\u2014the U.S.’s only tropical rainforest, or take the ferry out to Culebra or Vieques<\/a>\u2014home to two of the world’s top 10 beaches. For something sporty, head over to Rincon, which is often referred to as the surfer’s paradise of the Caribbean. But maybe the best allure of the island is that you don’t have to do anything at all. Grab a Cuba libre with a local Puerto Rican rum such as Bacardi, kick your feet up, and practice your Spanish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
