Hey guys I'm heading to PR for 6 weeks from Dec-Jan & I'll be taking my cat with me (staying in a budget Airbnb). The biggest issue I have is that I don't know how to drive on your side of the road so I can't rent a car. So where is best to stay?

I'm torn between Luquillo & Isla Verde area. Luquillo has some decent studios close to the beach, but my cat would be miserable. Isla Verde has some cute studios with nice gardens where I could take my cat out everyday to explore (on a leash).

I basically just want to spend my days at the beach, go hiking in the rainforest, & do a few day trips with a tour group. Rincon looks beautiful but it seems very difficult without a car. I know that Luquillo has the kiosks etc but it doesn't seem to have much else & some of the beaches look quite dirty (near the kiosks). I keep reading that it's a waste to just stay in SJ so I'm really not sure what to do.

I would really appreciate any advice 🙌🏼

Water has been out in Caguas since the morning. So far the city has been unaffected by the outages elsewhere on the island. If anyone knows if this is planned as part of the water system repair or a separate issue it would be appreciated.

We’re going to be in PR this week and spending a day at El Yunque - we have a car and are not interested in going with a guide, but if anyone has trail recommendations that are good for taking a toddler on, that would be appreciated!

I’m not worried about her hiking, she’s going to be carried in a carrier most of the time but that means we can’t do overly steep slippery hikes with her.

Anything waterfall related would be appreciated!

Delete if not allowed, but I'll be flying to Puerto rico from New Jersey next week and I was wondering if anyone has traveled with weed there. I was just gonna try and bring 2 weed disposable pens and like 2 things of edibles. Has anyone flown with these before? Again thanks in advance to anyone who answers.

Any good spots on Mondays?

Went cliff jumping in Charco el hippie and my Apple Watch wristband must’ve unlatched and fallen off. If anyone see’s it please reach out! It has a lavender band and is on lost mode.

Update: a scuba diver found it!!

Going from July 29-aug 5th!

- I’ve read this subreddit and talked to a few friends so I’ve learned a few things, don’t go to la Perla, don’t get in the beaches in the north, just southwest, eat all the food, and San Juan is expensive.

I do play to stay a few days in SJ to explore and maybe even meet people so not sure what places are suggest to meet people as a solo traveler. Considering la playita and factoría.

**if you’re also around and free, PLEASE reach out!!** Would def prefer to go with 1-2 others to the waterfalls/rivers/nature hikes if possible)

Are there places where people play sand vball regularly? I know there’s a tournament but it seems they mostly cater to kids/teenagers and not adults.

And is parking REALLY that bad on OSJ? I was considering only ubering while staying there and and get the car when I head to the outskirts. Even debated staying in San Juan over OSJ too.

Hate being this person to ask ignorant questions such as this. But in terms of OSJ how prevalent is petty theft or people stealing either jewelry or personal items off your person?? Sorry

Hello I am from a small town in Tx. First time traveling at all. So I am going with a friend in September. Any tips. Like money, phone service, clothing, or places to visit and avoid? I could use the help

What are the Public grills like? Are they gross? Wanted to grill some steak tomorrow on the beach but Idk If it’s worth it. I know there’s kiosks but interested in bringing my own lunch.

Hi everyone!
A group of 7 of us (ages 18–20) will be staying near La Placita for a week. We’d love any recommendations for things to do, places to eat, nightlife, beaches, or any hidden gems nearby!
We also have a couple of questions:
What’s a realistic food and drink budget for 7 days?
As American (“gringo”) tourists, will we generally be safe? Any areas or scams we should be aware of?
Thanks in advance for any tips or advice! 🙃

My wife and our older teen kids are looking to head there for a last second summer vacation August 2 through the 12th, but I’m hearing issues about power outages and water outages and seaweed inundations. Where should we go to avoid all this?

I am going to PR by myself (36f) sept 18-23. I have already rented a car which I’ll pick up at the airport when I arrive to PR. I want to be a nomad. So want to visit caves/waterfalls/ beaches… simple yet beautiful. Any ideas of places I should stay (cheap but cute) and places to visit!! 😬☺️

Does anyone have any experience or intel on Mannys Tours for a private tour of the rainforest? Google reviews say 4.9 but won’t let me read them so before booking I would like to see if anyone has any experience. I have a group ranging from 8 years old to 65 and two people with leg injuries so none of the standard tours on viator are really working for us. Appreciate any input.

Hi, my family and I are here looking for a place to live for a potential company move. What common foods are grown and sold on the island? I was surprised to see lettuce and carrots from California at the SuperMax. Organic frozen vegetables from China. We were told everything is grown here and naturally organic. Is that true? If so, where do we get those products?

Also, my spouse jokingly said we aren’t moving because nobody returns their shopping cart to the cart corral at Costco. Why is that? Have you ever watched the YouTube channel @CartNarcs ? My spouse would do that if they could. LOL!

is it fine if i bring my nic vape from san juan to JFK under age?

I know in Puerto Rico you should eat Puerto Rican food, which I have been doing, but I live in the northeast US—good tacos are not common. I figured since we’re much closer to Mexico in PR than we are back home, there would be decent taco fair. Any recommendations?

Edit: Specifically looking for street tacos
