Puerto Rico Holiday
If the magic of New Orleans still isn't sufficiently Caribbean for you, think about going a bit further into the sea. Puerto Rico natives are American citizens, but the culture is wonderfully different while still familiar. For American citizens, that means you don't need a passport nor a visa! While the dominant language is Spanish, you can still get around speaking only English. Of course, it's fun to dust off your high school Spanish as a sign of respect for your hosts.
Gay Puerto Rico is a fairly new concept (as it is the case in the majority of Hispanic cultures). Regardless, there are lots of gay accepting businesses, such as discos, bars, eateries and accommodations.
Why do so many people choose a Caribbean vacation? Beaches! Puerto Rico has lots of sandy beaches, and they are sufficiently different from each other to satisfy any choice. Some beaches provide many of things to do, such as sailing, riding a personal water craft and more. If quiet, relative seclusion is more your speed, many of Puerto Rico's beaches will satisfy your taste. I like to switch back and forth. One day I'll go to a beach that offers plenty of activities; the next day, I might pack up my summer book and head off to my quiet place.
If you prefer not to spend every day playing or sunning on a beach, I suggest taking a day trip. You can quickly be in a completely different environment on this island. Are you interested in hiking, climbing, spelunking or kayaking? You can enjoy each of those activities just a short distance away. Although Puerto Rico is relatively small, you may spend your time doing a wide variety of interesting activities.
The island's diversity goes beyond the attractions of unique flora and fauna—the local cultural diversity is also worth checking out during your time in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rican culture today is a fascinating blend of the three different cultural groups—African, Taino (Amerindian), and Spanish—that have historically come into contact on the island. Both cultural festivals and a variety of museums are available throughout the year to facilitate your learning about the unique political and cultural history of this island.
