Puerto Rico Vacation Rentals & Holiday Villas - Puerto Rico Villas in the Caribbean:
This beautiful independent island in the Caribbean Sea is located to the east of the Dominican Republic, and retains its Latin charm and personality from its neighbours. Puerto Rico is a relatively mountainous island, whilst providing visitors and locals with a host of picturesque sandy beaches that boast seclusion on an impressive scale.
Despite sitting some way from the shores of the United States, Puerto Rico remains a US territory, which allows American citizens to come and go from the island without the need of a passport. If visitors wish to explore the island outside the capital city of San Juan, it is recommended to rent a car and travel, with public transport sparse in the remote areas.
The tropical climate of Puerto Rico results in a string of spectacular rainforests named El Yunque. Walk on the wild side and enjoy a hiking trail through the forests and catch a glimpse of the endangered Puerto Rican parrot. With multiple outdoor adventures to choose from, Puerto Rico is much more than just a key shipping port, it is a Latin wonder.
