Welcome to Puerto Rico, the Island of Enchantment
As one of the oldest and most diversified cultures in the world, Puerto Rico is a vibrant, modern, bilingual, multicultural society, one that has been molded by Spanish, African, Indian and U.S. influences.
With over 300 miles of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, a large Tropical Rain forest, a Cave System millions of years old, a Dry Forest filled with Cactus, and its charm and warm people, Puerto Rico embraces all visitors.
21st century conveniences in an alluring 16th century historical setting... Both ultra-modern and bewitchingly exotic, Puerto Rico is truly the Island of Enchantment.
Our Culture
Close to 4 million people live on the "Island of Enchantment," with more than a million in the greater San Juan metropolitan area alone. It is a vibrant, modern, bilingual, multicultural society, one that has been molded by Spanish, African, Indian and U.S. influences. Residents of Puerto Rico have much in common with their fellow Americans in the continental United States, yet they retain a decidedly Hispanic heritage.
Business & Currency
Business hours on the island are similar to those on the mainland, 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM weekdays (the spanish siesta has disappeared). Most stores are open Saturdays, and all of the larger towns have shopping malls that are open evenings and Sundays.
Our national currency is the dollar. Major credit cards are accepted at most businesses, and ATMs connected to major US and international networks are easy to find. There are no customs duties on articles bought in Puerto Rico and taken to the U.S. mainland.
