Puerto Rico is one of the biggest islands in the Caribbean, and it has much more to offer than just rain forests. It also has caves, mountains, coral reefs and white-sand beaches. And the rain forest is large enough to supply water for most of Puerto Rico.
The sounds of Puerto Rico's El Yunque National Forest will no doubt draw visitors—giggling children running by, tree frogs croaking, and the rustle of the leafy canopy. What's more, this rain forest is close enough to San Juan for a day trip.
Puerto Rico visitors will also find that the country is quite modernized. San Juan, a large city, offers glamorous resorts, hotels and casinos and has a busy business district, as well as the largest convention center in the Caribbean.
San Juan, Puerto Rico, also has one of Latin America's most impressive colonial areas. Such a combination of natural beauty and urban attractions is part of the reason why Puerto Rico is so popular with tourists.
