puerto rico: Hi, My fianc茅 and I are planning our trip to Puerto Rico in mid June. We will stay in San juan or old san juan most likely, but we would really like to go El Yunque Rain Forrest. It seems like it's about 5 hours drive from San juan, does it mean we need to stay around El Yunque Rain Forrest, and go back to San juan the next day? Any suggestions? By the way, hows the weather in June? Thanks Jen|||Hello. El Yunque is only a 45 min -1 hour drive from San Juan. Nothing on the island takes 5 hours to get to from San Juan, so see anything & everything you want. You can stay near El Yunque if you'd like because it is a nice area too, but you dont have to because it is not far. Wear a bathing suit under your clothes if you want to swim in the waterfalls in El Yunque. Also at night you should check out Las Croabas bioluminescent Lagoon. The water is amazing it glows in the dark :) & the weather in June will be nice dont worry. It is usually hot in June & not much rain yet. ENJOY PR!|||Its probably easier to rent a car at the airport instead of getting transportation to your hotel & then renting. Thirfty by the airport (has shuttles to get there) charges about $30 per day for a compact car. Report Abuse |||Also Payless is cheap too. Your credit card should cover insurance but you may purchase extra. Let me know if you read these. Hope this helps :) Also eat authentic food its delicious Report Abuse |||i love san juan! if you like coach handbags, there is a wholesale coach store where they sell them for a fraction of the cost! i bought a couple there when i was there. puerto rico is beautiful between. if you like history and stuff like that, visit the fort there. i went there in late june, early july and it was really hot.
