Get Lost in the Botanical Gardens of Rio Piedras
Founded in 1970, El Jardin Botanico is nestled in the urban sprawl of San Juan’s Rio Piedras district. The botanical garden covers 75 acres and features over 36,000 species of flora & fauna, many of which are endemic to Puerto Rico. The highlight of the trip includes a rare viewing of one of the world’s largest palm species in bloom.
Discover Taino Petroglyphs in Cueva del Indio
Not only boasting views of natural arches and sunsets over Arecibo, Taino petroglyphs line the walls of Cueva del Indio on Puerto Rico’s northern coast.
Aibonito Flower Festival
Puerto Rico’s highest mountain town, Arecibo, truly blossoms the last weekend of June through the first weekend of July. This small town in the Cayey Mountains is home to an annual flower festival locally known as Festival de las Flores.
Vieques’ Bio Bay by Power Catamaran
An evening aboard the East Island Excursion’s power catamaran, Island Flyer, was a blast! A wonderful dinner, unlimited rum, and a swim in Puerto Rico’s best bioluminescent bay were all part of the schedule.

The Oasis of Culebra
This small island off the eastern coast of Puerto Rico has proven tough to visit! This past weekend, by sheer determination (and a few extra dollars) we finally made it to what has been hailed as Puerto Rico’s perfect stretch of sand.
